INTRODUCTORY. fpHE first soft wind that blows from the south in the early spring comes laden with the promise of hope to the weary- workers in the Lord's vineyard. It whispers of the merry songs of the birds, of verdure, and the sweet perfume of the rose. It breathes inspiration into the soul of toiling humanity, and tells the heart with gentle voice that new life will soon adorn the field all brown and bare, and the cold, dreary months of winter will soon pass away and the joys of summer days be again renewed. The days pass on, and the slow action of nature brings about the awakening of the promised transformation ; and as the buds appear and the vesture of earth puts on its freshest color, the heart grows more buoyant. The thoughts of the rich and poor alike begin to evolve plans for their summer enjoyment. Soon will the tedious care of the workshop and the counting-room be thrown off, and the din of the narrow city's fens be changed for the bracing atmosphere of old ocean and the balmy air of the country seat. The merchant, having the means to gratify his every desire, can easily prepare his schemes for recreation ; but the middle classes and the ever-present poor who seek for freedom must find their source of joy in those opportunities which come within a radius of their income. Fortunate, indeed, it is for them that there is an Elysium, and that there are men with gen- erosity of soul large enough to take in the desires of the masses ICBitEiafafHi.: MANUFACTURERS', BOTTLERS' & BREWERS' AGENTS, Boston Ginger Ale, Soda & Mineral Water, New York Lager Beer, Olden Time Stock Ale, Philadelphia Porter, Champagne Cider, In HHs., BUS,, Kegs, FoMtalus, Slplioiis ail Bottles. 103 and 105 Broad Street, BOSTON.

The eager anticipation of the excursionist has been fully met by the more anticipating benefactors, and to-day we have the Boston and Hingham Steamboat Company, who have done more good in the past toward the morals and health of the swarming population of Boston during the summer than any other source of influence ; and to this company belongs the credit of tlie thou- sand and one improvements that have been made at the various points of interest in our harbor from time to time. The company own the best steamers in every respect that ply their wheels in our beautiful harbor ; and possessing every known facility for comfort, safety, and elegance, their popularity and patronage has become simply immense. In view of a still greater amount of travelling over their line this year than ever before, the com- pany, in order to gratify the every desire of their patrons, have published this Guide, which will be found to be interesting, and explains to those unfamiliar with our harbor the many points of interest, as well as otlier pleasant features.

There can be no better introduction to this guide-book than a slight outline sketch of the history of the Boston and Hing- ham Steamboat Company and the boats which have from time to time been used by them. In the year 1818, the "Eagle," under the command of Capt. Clark, made the first steamboat trip from Boston to the town of Hingham. She made irregular trips during that season, and it was not until 1819, one year later, that she was put on the line to make daily passages to and from these places. She was then under the charge of Capt. Barnabas Lincoln. She was a small boat, compared with those of to-day, accommodating two hun- dred passengers. She ran until 1821, after which, until the year 1829, we have no account of any boat except the packets plying between Boston and Hingham. A very singular inci- dent is that during the year 1822 there is not a single notice of Hand-Book of the G jaOOE: R I EJsS. COBB, BATES & YERXA. IMPORTANT NOTICE — TO — RESIDENTS OUT OF TOWN.

George Thaxter, who run her until 1830, when he was relieved by Capt. George Beal, of Cohasset. She was much smaller than her predecessor, tlie " Eagle," and even in those primitive days of steamboating was not very highly esteemed. Before she was purchased by the Hingham people, she was called the " Hamilton," which name always remained on her stern. There is an account of her being caught in a squall off the Castle, on her trip to Boston, and being obliged to put back to Hingham The " Gen. ]jin- colu " followed the " Lafayette." She made her first trip June 16, 1832, under Capt. George Beal. It was at this time that the present company was formed. The "' Gen. Lincoln " was built at Philadelphia; measured 9G feet long, with 22 feet beam ; side-wheels, 14 feet in diameter. She had 2 boilers, 2 walking- beams, burnt wood, and was run under about 20 pounds steam.

She had numerous commanders. Capt. George Beal was her first, and Capt. Rowell her last in this line. In 1856 she was bought by New York parties. The "Mayflower" was 133 foot 8 inches in length by 42 feet 2 inches beam ; 8 feet 8 inches in draught; 262 and 69-95 tons burden, old measurement. Her wheels were 22 feet diameter, 30-inch cylinder with 10-foot stroke, run under 30 pounds steam, and accommodated 800 pas- sengers. The fifth boat was the "Nantasket," Capt. A. L. Rowell, She was built in New York in 1857, and placed upon this line in 1858. Her original proportions were: length, 146 feet 6 inches ; breadth, 25 feet 4 inches ; depth, 8 feet 2 inches ; wheels, 24 feet in diameter; and 285 and 89-95 tons, old meas- urement. She was considered the fastest boat in the har- bor at that time. In 1862 she was in government employ. South. She was relieved during that summer by the " Gilpin " and " Halifax," the latter a stern-wheeler. In 1863 the "Nan- tasket" returned to Boston, and underwent numerous altera- tions, besides changing her name to the " Emeline." The " Rose Staudish," now running, was built in Brooklyn, N. Y., in 1863. She is 392 and 93-100 tons, new measurement. Capt. Jones was commander in 1864, Capt. Brown in 1866, Capt, Good in 1867, and she is now commanded by Capt. Bird. The "John Romer" was also built at Keyport, in 1863, and was intended to run between New York and Greenwich, Conn.

It is now under the command of Capt. Wm. H. Sampson. The " Governor Andrew " was built at Green Point, N. Y., in 1874, by the same parties who built the stanch and well-tried steamer " Rose Standish," Messrs. Folkes & Lawrence. Her length is 159 feet, with 27 feet beam, - and depth, 9 feet. Her measurement is 503 and 1-100 tons, and she is commanded by Capt. George F. Brown. The elegant new steamer "Nantasket" Avas launched May 15, 1878, from the yard of Messrs. Pierce & Montgomery, Chelsea. She is 173 feet long by 29 feet breadth of beam, and 9 feet in depth. Her tonnage is 498 and 23-100. Capt. Chas. E. Good has charge of her.

The smell of the salt sea air invig- orates his being, and in anticipation he gazes seaward with eyes all anxious to view the broad ocean and the white sand beach. " Be it the summer noon, a sandy space The ebbing tide has left upon its place ; Then, just the hot and stony beach above, Light twinkling streams in bright confusion move (For, heated thus, the warmer air ascends, And with the cooler in its fall contends)." Soon the vibration of the great engines is heard, and with a gentle movement the good steamer leaves the wharf, and then a most delightful series of sights greets the eye. WINTHROP ISLAND. The view as we head toward the harbor is a pleasing one. There are the pleasure yachts and carrying vessels, the busy tug-boats straining away with a big ship behind them, and far away in the middle distance and horizon are the oval crests of the islands that here and there dot the water's surface. After passing the broad opening, the first island that is plainly seen, or enough so to distinguish its character and formation, is Gov- ernor's, or, as it is now called, Winthrop Island. It derives its name from Gov. Winthrop, to whom it was given at a very early period in the history of Boston by the colonial Legisla- ture. This noted island first took its name from Roger Conant, a distinguished early settler of Plymouth. The first known of this island is that on July 2, 1631, it was "appropriated to pub- lique benefits and uses." From papers now in possession of the New England Historical Genealogical Society, we copy the fol- lowing: On the 3d of April, 1632, at a Court of Assistants, " the island called Conant's Island, with all the liberties & priv- ileges of fishing and fowling, Avas demised to John Winthrop, Esq., the pseut gounr., and it was further agreed that the said John Winihrop did covenant and promise to plant a vine- yard and an orchard in the same, and that the heirs or assigns of the .said John Winthrop for one & twenty yeares payeing yearely to the gounr, the fifth parts of all such fruits & prof- fits as shalbe yearly raysed out of the same, and the lease to be renewed from time to time onto the heirs and assigns of the said John Winthrop, &the name of the said ileland was changed & is to be called the Gounr's Garden." The island continued in the possession of the Winthrop family 16 Hand- Book of the A. LARGJb] LIJNE iF^n^o^sr WHICH WE SELL AT 25 CSNTS PER YARD. CHIPMAN'S SONS & CO., Oor.

This, when built, was called Eort Warren, in honor of Gen. Joseph Warren. Since then another fort has been erected on George's Island, and this name Avas transferred to it. A new fortification is now in pro- cess of erection on the summit of the high hill on Governor's Island, and has been named Fort Wiuthrop, in remembrance of FORT WINTHROP. the first governor, to whom it was granted. This fort is of great strength, and has a very commanding position. Its bat- teries are nearly all underground, and connected with the cita- del (the top of which can be seen at the higliest part of the island) by underground passages; and the water battery that will be observed on the southerly side of the island is of great advantage to the defence, controlling, as it does, a large extent of flats, which are very shoal except at the highest tides FORT INDEPENDENCE. The next island which is passed, and lying to the south of the steamer's course, is Castle Island. It is situated almost directly opposite Fort Winthrop, and can be easily recognized by the granite fortress and earthworks placed thereon. It is consid- ered one of the most prominent forts in Boston Harbor. In 1634 the idea was first conceived of erecting a fort upon Castle Island. C.apt. Edward Johnson, of Woburn, thus speaks of the fort, in a work published in 1654 : "The Castle is built on the 18 Hnnd-Book of the V CRLAf F. S. DOYLE, r\^ SE, The Oldest & Largest Hotel On the Beaeh.

It is of very good use to awe any insolent persons, that putting con- fidence in their ships and sails, shall offer any injury to the peo- ple or contemn their governments, and they have certain signals of alarums Avliich suddenly spread through the whole country." When the British evacuated Boston they destroyed Castle William, as it Avas then called ; and after the Provincial forces took possession they repaired it, and its name was changed to Fort Independence in 1797, President John Adams being pres- ent on the occasion. This island was noted for years as a duel- ling ground. On the glacis of the fort is now standing a memo- rial of one of these unfortunate affairs, on which is the follow- ing inscription : — NEAR THIS SPOT On the 25th Dec. 1817 FELL Lieu. ROBERT F.

Within a few years a substantial stone fort has been erected in place of old Castle William. A number of prisoners were confined here during the war of the Rebellion, and several deserters were executed. SPECTACLE ISLAND. Spectacle, or, as it is sometimes called, AVard's Island, on ac- count of Ward's rendering works now placed there. In 1634 it was rented to the city of Boston for one shilling. In 1717 this island was sold to the Province for the sum of £100, in bills of credit, for the purpose of erecting a " Pest House for the recep- tion and entertainment of sick persons coming from beyond the sea, and in order to prevent the spreading of infection." >LANL) LIGHT. Things must have progressed slowly at the island; for in 1720 we find it was voted "that the selectmen of the town of Boston be desired to take care for the furnisliing of the Public Hos- pital on Si)ectacie Island, so as to make it warm and comfortable for the entertainment of tlie sick." In 1736 the hospital was removed to Rainsford's Island, and Spectacle Island ceased to be of any great importance. LONG ISLAND. Tliat long stretch of land on your right is Long Island, and is about three quarters of a mile below wSpectacle. It used to 22 Hnnd-Bonl' of the Boston and Hingham. Stmmhoat Company. 28 be thickly covered with a timber {^rowth, which was as far back as 1640. There have been various owners; and in 1847 the Jjon^ Island Company bought all the island, with the exception of the East Head, built a substantial wharf, and erected the Long Island House, laid out streets and cnt up the land into lots for building, starting a real-estate speculation on the island ; which, however, was not successful, as but a few buildings were erected. The lighthouse on the East Head was erected in 1819. Its tower is twenty-two feet in height, built of iron and painted white, with a black lantern, containing nine burners, and is about eighty feet above the level of the sea, with a fixed white light that can be seen on a clear night aboiit fifteen miles. It is situated in a square enclosure of ground on the summit of the Head. Within the square is a comfortable stone house for the keeper. The northeastern part of the Head has for years been grad- ually washing away, and it was not until recently that the gov- ernment bnilt a sea wall for its protection from the inroads of the surf, DEER ISLAND. Deer Island lies directly north of the East Head of Long Island, and between these two islands the boats pass. It is now used by the city, and the House of Industry has been erected thereon, which was removed from South Boston (where it was formerly situated) in 1848. The House of Eeformation and Almshouse were removed from the same place in 1858. The large brick building which is so prominent was bnilt in 1850. NIX'S MATE. Nix's Mate is one of the greatest points of interest in the harbor. It is a tall pyramid placed upon a square stone base. ■ The beacon as it stands, from base to peak, is thirty-two feet in height. It rests upon a shoal, which, at low tide, shows plainly out of water. There are two very interesting stories connected with its origin ; viz., one is that MIX'S MATS. -^= — the mate of a certain captain by the name of Nix was executed upon the place for killing his 24 IJana-Book of the ALFRED MUDGE & SON, Legal, Mercinille and ConiiBeraal PRINTERS., Our Estahllsliment is one of the largest and \ oldest in Keiu England, and its facilities for \ th e execution of Printing of every description are unsurpassed.

The other is that Nix liad been at one time connected with some piratical enterprise ; his mate being caught was here doomed to death. In either case the mate protested his inno- cence, and in proof thereof he asserted that in a certain num- ber of years the island would be entirely washed away. Whether the man was innocent or guilty, of course nobody knows ; but it is positively certain that the once beautiful little island has quite passed away from sight, and the black object now upon it is a fitting pile to commemorate the memories of the spot. GAT.LOP'S ISIiAND. Bearing southeast from Nix's Mate, is Gallop's Island, so called as it was once the property of John Gallop, a harbor pilot. It forms the southern border of what is termed " The Narrows," the channel through which the boats usually pass, though sometimes they go to the southward. Tliis property came into possession of the city of Boston in 1860, purchased from Charles Newcomb for the sum of $6,500. LOVELIi'S ISTjAND. The island lying to the northward of the Narrows is called Lovell's Island. It h is been the scene of numerous shipwrecks ; the most important of which was tlie loss of the French frigate " Magnifique," the flag-ship of the French Squadron, under the command of Count D'Estaing, in 1782. The vessel struck on Man-o'-war Bar, which extends from the extreme westerly end of tlie island. The loss of this ship (which it was said was owing to the carelessness of the pilot) was a very serious matter to the Americans, as the French were the allies of Young America in her Revolutionary struggles. GEORGE'S ISLAND. Next in our course lies George's Island, on which Fort Warren is situated. The steamer leaves it on the port (or left- hand) side as she swings out of the Narrows and heads for Hull. It was sold to the city of Boston, in 1825, by Caleb Rice, together with Lovell's Island, for $6,000, and afterward transferred to the United States. There is a strong sea-wall nearly surrounding the island. Fort Warren was built upon it in 1850, and is considered the strongest of our harbor fortifica- tions.

You will see, if looking straight out over the water in a northeasterly direction from Fort Warreti, a house of octagon shape, and apparently built on spiles. It was built in 185G, is painted red, and its beacon light is seen seven miles away, the lantern being thirty-five feet above the level of the sea. BOSTON LIGHT. That white-body and black-top lighthouse away to the left middle distance is the well-known Boston Light. The first lighthouse was built in 1715. It was much injured by fire in 1751, and was struck several times by lightning. During the Kevolutionary war it fared hard. The present lighthouse was erected in 1783, but has been several times refitted since then with improved apparatus; and in 1860 the BOSTON LIGHT. old tower was raised in height, it now measuring ninety-eight feet above sea level. The white tower, with its black lantern and revolving light, can be seen at a distance of sixteen nautical miles, if the Aveather be fair and the sky clear, and is an im- posing object when viewed from vessels on entering or leaving the harbor. 30 Hand- Book of the ENGELHARDT'S, 173 and 174 Tremont Street, FACING THE COMMON.

Its site is one of the finest in New England, commanding as it does, from its verandas, an unbroken view of the JNIassa- cliusetts shore from Marblehead to Scituate. This hotel is one of the largest at Nantasket, capable of accommodating one hundred and seventy-five regular boarders, while their kitchens are under such excellent control that they can readily supply their tables for two hundred and fifty transient visitors. This establishment is under the management of Mr. I. L. Damon, who has had charge of it for a number of years. THE ROCKLAND HOUSE, Fully as well equipped for the accommodation of its patrons as any of those we have mentioned, is kept by Mr. J. S. Doyle, the popular proprietor of the St. James, Boston. It is situ- ated upon Atlantic Hill, and lacks but little of the fine view accorded to its neighl)or, the Atlantic. Crossing the hill, and descending the southern slope towards Stony Beach, we meet with numerous smaller hotels, the most prominent of which is the PACIFIC HOUSE. It is not much smaller, however, than the Atlantic or Rock- land hotels, as can be seen by its capacity for accommodating 40 Hand- Book of the NEW PACIFIC HOUSE. Opened June 1, 1878. Nantasket Beach, Nantasket, Mass. W. B. HATHAWAY, Proprietor. This house was erected two seasons ago on the site of the old one, and is newly furnished throughout. Its Broad Piazzas, Extensive Halls and Well-Yentilated Apartments insure to its guests an umtsaally pleasant and comfortable summer home. Its location is unsurpassed hy any house on the shore, com- maivding an unbrohen view of old ocean, and furnishes superior advantages for BOATING, BATHING, FISHING AND GUNNING, TTiahing one of the most pleasant and roman- tic places on Massachusetts Bay. A few rods in rear of house, a LAKE TWO MILES IN LENGTH affords a safe and pleasant place for ladies and childyren to row, boats being always in readiness for that purpose. The hotel is Easily Accessible by Boat or Rail, being only fifty ininutes' sail from, Boston by steamer. Boston and Hingham Steamboat Company. 41 one hundred and fifty guests. Mr. William B. Hathaway has charge of the house. The scenery upon this side of the hill offers a marked contrast to that presented by the northern slope. Here it is rugged and rough, very bold and rocky, form- ing a much grander picture than the smooth, unbroken sur- face of the beach at Nantasket. The view from the piazzas of the Pacific House is truly magnificent, and Mr. Hathaway, the genial proprietor, cordially invites the visitors to avail them- selves of the cool shade afforded by his veranda. Leaving the hill and returning to the beach, we find, besides the hotels which Ave have mentioned, numerous cafes and less pretentious establishments, which tend to increase the material comforts of summer visitors. The whole of this magnificent stretch of beach is most beautifully and perfectly illumined uightly with very powerful electric lights. The new broad- gauge railroad, which extends from the steamboat landing to Point Allerton, the extreme northern erid of. the beach, is a great accommodation, inasmuch as it does away with the slow and tedious ride in the barges, which has hitherto been the only means of conveyance from point to point. ROSE STANDISH HOUSE. DOWNER LANDING. Downer Landing is one of the most interesting and beautiful spots that is reached by the boats of the Boston and Hingham 42 Bmd-Bool of the Steamboat line. Few people who were familiar with the harboi' and snrroBndings ten yeais ago would believe that Crow Point could have been transformed into snch a charming place as we now find here. Melville Garden, within easy access of the steam- boat landing, is the principal centre of attraction for those visit- ing the place for a day's pleasnre. Snmmer-honses, swings, beantifnl shade-trees, a fine collection of monkeys, and above all the most magnificent dancing pavilion that can be found any- where along the beach, are here for the pleasnre of the visitor. A clam-bake, that well rivals Kocky Point, is also to be had here, three times a day. The attractions oilered for an evening's en- tertainment are not a particle behind those of the day, as the whole scene, beautiful in the sunlight, is rendered donbly so by the dazzling rays of the brilliant electric lights recently erected. The numerous diversities which are made in the colors and distribntion of these lights have a roost gorgeous effect, and immediately snggcst to the spectator the richest and most ele- gant ti'aiisformation scene. Indeed, it wonld be very easy to imagine one's self in the enchanted halls of Aladdin. The sweet strains of mnsie wafted to the ear serve to enhance the delu- sion ; bnt the merry peals of langhter, which come from the dancers at the pavillion, remind the dreamer that he is at Downer Landing, and not in Arabia. Mr. J. D. Scndder, the manager of these gardens, deserves the heartiest thanks and good-will of the excursionists, for it is to him they are indebted for the pleasures they enjoy when passing a day and evening in these most picturesque gardens. The hotel, — Rose Standish House, — also under the superin- tendeiicy of Mr. J. D. Scudder, but directly mauaged by Mr. F. C. Saiford, is another great attraction to the visitor; not so much so to the transient excursionist as to those seeking a few weeks' rest and recreation at the seashore. The house is tested to its utmost capacity every season by some of our first families The high social standing of its proprietor, Mr. Samuel Downer, as well as that of Mr. Scudder, proves a great incentive towards attracting the elite of society. HINGHAM Is noted for its beautiful scenery and pleasant drives ; also foi* its old meeting-house (erected in 1681), the oldest occupied house of worship in the United States. In the rural cemetery, u the rear of the meeting-house, rest the remains of the late Boston and llhujham Steamboat Company. 43 John A. Andrew, the " War Governor " of Massachusetts, over whose ashes an elegant marble statue has been erected. The last resting-place of Maj -Gen. Benjamin Lincoln, of Revolu- tionary fame, is also in the same cemetery. The only hotel in Hingham is the CUSHING House, located in the village, convenient to cars as well as boats. KAGGED ISLAND.

You may instinctively say with one who has lived in Boston during his life, and who has every season visited these scenes: — 1 have loved thee, Ocean ! and my joy Of youthful epoi'ts was on thy hreast to be Borne, like thy bubbles, inward; fronla boy I wantoned with thy breakers, — they to me were a delight; For I was, as it Wei'e, a child of thee. Who has not gazed at the noble ships that pass by on the out- ward or inwa,rd trip, with feelings of awe and admiration'? See how nobly it comes upon you with all sail set, speeding on its eventful journey ; the great Avhite wings, filled with the wind, go mailing by and are now out of sight. Then there are the yachts and pleasure boats, filled with happy voyagers who greet you with cheers or waving handkerchiefs ; all become friends, and the joys of each are one in common. If one desires to take the late boat home, the enjoyment is frequently enhanced by a moonlight sail. When the moon is up, though it may not be night, and the sunset divides the sky with her, a sea of glory streams along the shore and waters, heaven is free from clouds ; but all the colors seem to be melted to one vast Iris of the West, where day joins past eternity. The face of heaven comes down Upon the waters, and all its hues from the rich sunset, and with the moon lend their magical diffusion of varied lights. Watch the change as yoU sail along ; a paler shadow strews its mantle over the deep ; parting day dies like a dolphin, whom each pang imbues •' With a new color as it gasps away, The last still loveUeat, till ^ 'tie gone, and all la gray." There are the lights in the buildings as you near the city, and the reflections of the moon on the "gilded dome," which, in contrast with the shadows of the buildings, form a truly mar- vellous picture, and complete the round of pleasure and sights enjoyed and seen throughout the day. When you reach the pier, you immediately feel the change of air, and the fresh, vigorous atmosphere of the ocean is left l)e- hind, and you inhale the close odors of the sultry streets. 'T is tlien one feels that they would like to live down the harbor during tlie summer ; and rest assured the first spare day tliat 46 Hand-Book of the comes along finds many of the excursionists embracing the op- portunity to again enjoy the wholesome, health-giving recre- ation that is afforded by the Boston and Hingham Steamboat Company. HOW TO REACH ROWE'S WHARF. Out-of-town parties, who arrive at the several railroad depots* wishing to reach the boats, by taking any Metropolitan car (some one lin3 of which company passes every depot), can do so, WITHOUT EXTRA CHARGE, by telling the conductor that tliey want to go to Rowb's Wharf, and he will see that they are transferred to the right car.
