Strawbery Banke Presents
HISTORIC PORTSMOUTH #16
This group posed at the Navy Yard some time between 1882 and 1885 while repairing
the USS MARION. The photo includes a ship’s carpenter, machinist, a watchcap and
rigger. Mark Fernald (in center with Whiskers) was the only Portsmouth resident.
Note that there are men standing on the mast in the distance. Brrrr,,Cold.
HISTORIC PHOTOS of the Greater Portsmouth Area appear here weekly
BONUS CLOSE-UP: Notice the men on the rigging in the tall ships in the background.
