Come celebrate the city's historical significance with the ringing of the churchbells downtown followed by a talk at the Discover Portsmouth Center. Portsmouth Peace Treaty Day marks the 1905 signing of the treaty that ended the Russo-Japanese War after 30 days of negotiations at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. In Portsmouth at 3:47 pm, the exact time the Treaty was signed, the Shipyard will give a salute echoed by the church bells of Portsmouth (and beyond).
