Image Info

This image of the Kittery Navy Yard shows the yard prior to July 22, 1905. On July 22, 1905 the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard blasted an area on Henderson's Point which was considered a hazard to navigation. The shipyard also needed room for expansion. According to the text on the reverse of this image it was the largest dynamite explosion of its time. This is part of the Susan Ricker Knox Collection.
