ROCKINGHAM HOTEL PORTSMOUTH, N. H. .Clonny bus "cob

Located on State Street in the heart of the City.C.

PORTSMOUTH, NEW HAMPSHIRE ...

Was settled in :1623 / by David" Thompson, a Scotchiman, "at: Odiorne's: Point," at the entrance of the Piscataqua River. The city is now located three miles from the sear on the "southwest bank of the river. It was the capital of the province of New Hampshire prior to the Revolution." From the early days of its history, Portsmouth has been a"ship- building town. :

The whole region is a noted ocean summer resort, with the Rockingham Hotel located in the heart of Portsmouth over 5,000 touring automobiles pass through Portsmouth daily in the summer time, en route either to Maine resorts alld the White Mountains, or returning. The Shore Boulevard is one of the two roads leading from-Portsmouth- toward the south. A steamer sails from Portsmouth daily, in the summer; to the Isles of Shoals, seven miles at sea. They are widely known through the writings of Celia Thaxter, who lived on one of them, and, were visited by Captain John Smith in- 1614. Conventions .arecheld on the Islands in July and August. The daily candle-light service is noted.

Portsmouth · is widely known for its fine- examples of Colonial architecture; and particularly its: doorways and carved woodwork. It probably has more interesting Colonial doorways than any other city or town in New England. :

The leading industry is the Navy Yard, which is more than one hundred years old. It is reached by a government ferry from the foot of State Street, or/by crossing the bridge to Kittery Point. At the Navy Yard are. to be seen the building. in which the Peace Treaty between Japan and Russia was signed in 1905, the Commandant's residence in which Admiral Farragut died. and : the Atlantic coast. NavaliPrison .-- The spot on the floor of the Supply Building, where the Portsmouth Treaty was signed, is marked by brass. clasped hands and brass disks set in the floor. Among the ships stationed, refitted or built here were the

· :

"Constitution," the "Kearsarge," and Admiral Farragut's flagship, the "Franklin." Lieu- tenant A. W. Greeley and his five fellow survivors of his ill-fated Arctic expedition recuperated here. Admiral Cervera and 700 Spanish sailors were kept here following the battle-of-Santiago in the Spanish-American war, in which they were captured. It is now the Atlantic submarine construction and repair base of the Navy. It is noted for producing submarines at a lower cost, in quicker time and with better workmanship than any other yard, public or private, in the country, the shipbuilding traditions of the region contributing to its efficiency. Fishing is an industry.

A new two-million dollar bridge spans the Piscataqua River to Kittery Point, Maine, in memory of American soldiers and sailors, at the expense of the Federal government, the states of New Hampshire and Maine and the city of Portsmouth. Owing to the fact that the average depth of the water is from 40 to 60 feet, Portsmouth Harbor is the deepest on the Atlantic coast. The sinking of the bridge piers was an unusually difficult engineering feat and involved the use of caissons at a depth of 80 to 90 feet under the surface of the water. This bridge now provides a new route into Maine.

At New Castle, New Hampshire, is Fort William and Mary. now Fort Constitution, built about 1630. On the night of December 14, 1774, this fort was attacked by a party of patriots and fifteen barrels of gunpowder seized. It was afterwards used at Bunker Hill.
