Maritime Portsmouth
The Sawtelle Collection exhibition at the Discover Portsmouth Center is a priceless collection of nearly 200 paintings and artifacts, gathered over two decades and never exhibited publicly before. Founded in 1623, Portsmouth is home to sea captains, shipbuilders, craftsmen and patriots. In the Age of Sail, many merchant shipyards flourished alongside the Navy Yard (est. 1800) on the fast-flowing Piscataqua River between Maine and NH. This exhibit is a dramatic reminder of how closely this region is tied to the sea.
