For a welcome change of pace from the typical hotel stay, reserve the Dashing Wave Room at Martin Hill Inn for your visit to Portsmouth, NH. Set at an angle at the end of the hall, the door to Dashing Wave beckons you in to see the various welcoming features of this room. Peek around the corner near the bed, there you’ll find a separate sitting nook with two armchairs adjoining the bedroom, perfect for reading or watching the flat-screen TV.

Dashing Wave was a medium-sized vessel, measuring 184 feet in length and weighing 1239 tons. She was built by Fernald and Petigrew and launched in 1853. Dashing Wave was the same model as Sea Witch, which was launched a few weeks before, and was sold to the same owners, the Steven Tilton Co. John D. Fiske was her first captain and left the Piscataqua for Boston in September and later went to San Francisco. In 1858, she made her best San Francisco journey in 108 days. Dashing Wave made six of these runs in total. Although her final official voyage was in the spring of 1902, she might have sailed as late as 1910. She was one of the last clipper ships used for any kind of sea going service.
