The States Of Modern: New Hampshire
During the 19th century, the New Hampshire economy was dominated by the textile and shoe industries. By the early 20th century, the Amoskeag Mill in Manchester was the largest textile mill in the world.
Gingham, flannel, and ticking were company specialties, although numerous other fabrics in cotton and wool were produced. The noise from thousands of looms running simultaneously in the weave rooms was deafening, so workers communicated by shouting in each other’s ears or lip reading. Amoskeag peaked by World War I, supplying the federal government with materiel.
In recent years, New Hampshire’s top industries have included the manufacturing of electrical, light metal, and computer and technology products.
Our New Hampshire Block features the State Flag which features the State Seal which features the frigate Raleigh. The Raleigh, built at Portsmouth. New Hampshire in 1776, was one of the first 13 warships sponsored by the Continental Congress for a new American navy. The frigate was the first ship to carry the American flag into battle. I have simplified the seal representation but the Raleigh is still there in our block.
