Portsmouth Harbor

Portsmouth, NH was first settled in 1630 along the banks of the Piskataqua River. The city has long been associated with ship building. The river serves as a boundary between New Hampshire and Maine. The harbor is interesting because of its history, the scenery and people. Across the river is Kittery, Maine.



The Portsmouth Naval Shipyard is known for the submarines that were built there.

Below you see the hull of a Los Angeles class nuclear submarine that has recently arrived for re outfitting. The project will probably take two years.

The lighthouse at the mouth of the river marks the entry to the the harbor.

There are sail boats everywhere.

And just a few luxury yachts.

Others went out on the sea in ships; they were merchants on the mighty waters. They saw the works of the Lord, his wonderful deeds in the deep.

Psalms 107: 23-24
