@Alligatorman, I'm not sure why but that image is actually used all over town iconography. Adam Tracy (the artist and one of the guys who founded the Hometown Revival Project) got the image directly from town hall (it's a plaque/carving on the building). It's supposed to be a depiction of Wampanoag chief, Massasoit (although you are right about the headdress). Anyway, the image comes right from the town, which is a whole 'nother kettle of fish...

Jim McGaw

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
