Click to see a dozen colorized postcards from the historic shipyard at the turn of the 20th century. 

 

 

READ a Brief History of the Portsmouth Shipyard

The definitive history of the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard is available in the book "Do Your Job!" by Richard Windslow – a book well worth owning. It was published in the year 2000 during the 200th anniversary of the nation’s oldest public / private shipyard. When base commander Isaac Hull arrived for duty here during the War of 1812, there were only a few scattered buildings and a dozen employees. At its peak the Yard employed over 8,000. A total of 134 submarines were built here by 1969. The following postcards offers a look back at shipyard as it was seen by visitors around the turn of the 20th century. --JDR
