Editing Isles of Shoals (section)

==White and Seavey Islands==
White Island and Seavey Island are located at the southern end of the Isles of Shoals, within the borders of the town of [[Rye, New Hampshire]]. During low tide, the two islands are connected by a land bridge.

White Island is dominated by [[Isles of Shoals Light]], now automated, and the keeper's house. The [[lighthouse]], one of two on the New Hampshire coast, and associated buildings are now owned by the state of New Hampshire. The island hosts a coastal weather station which frequently records sustained hurricane-force winds from [[Nor'easter]] coastal storms in the winter, due to the exposed nature of the island.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=MIOSN3&month=2&day=25&year=2010|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130209173348/http://www.wunderground.com/weatherstation/WXDailyHistory.asp?ID=MIOSN3&month=2&day=25&year=2010|url-status=dead|archive-date=February 9, 2013|title=Weather – Personal Weather Station: MIOSN3 by Wunderground.com – Weather Underground|website=www.wunderground.com|access-date=23 April 2018}}</ref> The lighthouse tower was restored in 2005 as the result of the efforts of a group of seventh graders in nearby [[North Hampton, New Hampshire|North Hampton]], known as the Lighthouse Kids (a chapter of the American Lighthouse Foundation). Poet [[Celia Thaxter]] grew up on this island before moving to [[Smuttynose Island]] and eventually [[Appledore Island]].

Seavey Island has been the site of a [[tern]] restoration project conducted by the [[Audubon Society of New Hampshire]] in recent years.
