Portsmouth, built beside a shipyard founded in 1767
Portsmouth was established as a town in 1752 by Colonel William Crawford, adjacent to the Gosport Shipyard founded in 1767, a facility later rebuilt after British forces sacked the town in 1779 and eventually became today's Norfolk Naval Shipyard. A remodel in one of Portsmouth's shipyard-adjacent neighborhoods should expect plumbing reflecting more than two centuries of continuous naval-town growth.
