This city, which is New Hampshire's oldest settlement, was a vital seaport in the 17th century. The richness of Portsmouth's history also stems from the fact that two warships of the Continental Navy were built here during the American Revolution against Britain. Nowadays, this colonial history vibe is still very much alive thanks to the restored buildings and reenactors of the Strawberry Banke Museum. Other interesting attractions in the city include the quaint shopping and arts thoroughfare of Market Street and the museum submarine USS Albacore.
