A fascinating pictorial history of Watch Hill, this collection of images documents this community's evolution through time.A hundred years ago, Watch Hill was known as the ''Queen of Atlantic Resorts. '' Its once barren knoll was strewn with vast wooden hotels and openair porticos and porches. Its snug cove, a port of entry for steamboats that ferried summer residents, was also the home port for a fleet of catboats that took passengers on daily excursions. Offering unparalleled bathing at the surfridden East Beach and the soft sands of Napatree Beach, Watch Hill was truly ''by the sea. '' Yet, as with many maritime venues, Watch Hill and its sister communities up the Pawcatuck River always served as yearround homes to watermen of all sorts. Whaling captains once lived in Lotteryville, party boat captains sailed down the Pawcatuck to meet passengers at the Watch Hill docks, and fishermen provided fresh fare from the river and sea. Ships were built and lives were lost, and a century of maritime industries have come and gone.
