PORTSMOUTH SHIPYARD HISTORY
Isaac Hull’s job was to build the largest warship in the American navy. He had no wood, no place to build in winter and little money. There was a war on and a British blockade. The Portsmouth Shipyard had almost no buildings and only a dozen workers. Times were even tougher at PNSY then, than now.

MARITIME HSITORY
The commissioning of the USS New Hampshire in 2008 reminded locals of their deep connection to the sea. The region’s maritime heritage begins two centuries before the arrival of the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in 1800.

THE SHIPYARD
It's a rare day in the 21st century when a new privateer arrives in its home port. The recondstucted Lynx had such a day in October, 2001. Owner and builder Woodson Woods selected Portsmouth, NH because, he says, of its history as a privateering port -- and for its tax free status.

JOHN PAUL JONES
The first sloop of war Ranger was built at Portsmouth Harbor and shocked the British Isles in the American Revolution. The second tall ship Ranger was built in the minds of local historians, but launched only in their dreams.
