Lunenburg Viewed from Hospital Hill

The trees on the bank near the waters edge, mark the spot where the first settlers landed on June 7th 1753. Kneeling by the shore one fair June morning, one hundred and fifty-two years ago, strangers and homeless, they little realized that one day the wooded shore would become "the busy mart where commerce ebbs and flows", and that the little fleet that bore them hither was the precursor of rich argosies that should bear the multiplied fruits of their toil to the four corners of the world.
