USS New Hampshire was a 2,633-ton ship originally designed to be the 74-gun ship of the line Alabama, but after being laid down in June 1819, she remained on the stocks for nearly 40 years, well into the age of steam. Renamed as New Hampshire, she was launched as a storeship and depot ship for use during the American Civil War. She was later renamed as Granite State. The ship burned and sank in the Hudson River in May 1921, and after being refloated, again caught fire and sank under tow near Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts, in July 1922.

Manchester Village Historic District (Manchester, Massachusetts)
Manchester Village Historic District (Manchester, Massachusetts)

The Manchester Village Historic District encompasses the village center of the seaside town of Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts (formerly known as Manchester). It is stretched along Massachusetts Route 127, which runs in an arc around the northern part of Manchester Harbor, extending north on School and North Streets at the very center of the village. It is bounded on the western end roughly by Bennett Street and Ashland Avenue, and on the east by Beach Street. The village had its beginnings in the 17th century as a fishing and agrarian center, and its major roads were laid out by the late 18th century. The village was at its height in the first half of the 19th century as a fishing center, and it is from that time that most of its buildings date. Growth in the later 19th century was slower, as sea-related economic activity declined and cabinetmaking grew as a local industry.The district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. It then included 172 contributing buildings, two contributing structures, four contributing sites and three contributing objects. With non-contributing buildings, the district has a total of 212 buildings, of which 134 are residences, of which 89 were built before 1850.The oldest are 25 Bennett Street (before 1675), which was possibly built for Aaron Bennett and 3 North Street (c.1714), built for Benjamin Allen, an innholder. The district has 26 surviving Colonial and Georgian houses.: 5 The term village is an affectation that residents who have family that go back generations largely reject. Real estate agents use the term to artificially inflate demand and real estate prices.
