EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled 'Portsmouth, N.H. from the Navy Yard, Kittery, Me. 1854,' offers a glimpse into the past of the historic seaport town of Portsmouth, New Hampshire. The photograph, taken in the year 1854, captures a breathtaking view of the town as seen from the Navy Yard in Kittery, Maine. The scene is a picturesque tableau of the bustling port activity. The foreground is dominated by the Navy Yard, with its impressive collection of ships and naval structures. The masts of the ships rise majestically against the horizon, their sails billowing in the wind. Smoke rises from the chimneys of the industrial buildings, indicating the constant hum of activity. In the distance, the town of Portsmouth is visible, with its red-roofed buildings and winding streets. The Piscataqua River, which has long been a vital artery for the town's economic growth, is shown meandering through the landscape, connecting the town to the sea. The photograph provides a fascinating window into the past, offering a glimpse of the town's rich maritime heritage. At the time, Portsmouth was a thriving port town, with a bustling economy fueled by shipbuilding, fishing, and trade. The Navy Yard played a crucial role in the town's history, with the U.S. Navy maintaining a presence there from 1800 to 1974. This photograph is a testament to the enduring beauty and history of Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and serves as a reminder of the town's vibrant past. The image has been carefully preserved and is now available for viewing through Mary Evans Prints Online, allowing us to appreciate the town's history and charm from a new perspective.
