I agree about Hurricane of '38. I don't thinkl storms were named then. My copy isn't handy to confirm, but my recollection is that "Three Centuries on Winnipesaukee" (published in 1936) refers to "blackish water" in the Lees Mills area, also due to log storage. There was a lot of lumbering going on in the early 20th century and saw mills moved from cove to cove. I believe the small cove just beyond the Wolfeboro seaplane station was one. Apparently, lots of lost anchors there too.
