Please join us on a special tour of the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard arranged for ISHRA folks and friends. This is a repeat of the tour we offered last fall, which was a big hit.
Date and time: Tuesday, May 14. 9:30 am - 12:30 pm (approx)
Cost to attend: Free!
Where to meet: Parking lot of the USS Albacore (569 Submarine Way, Portsmouth) where the PNSY bus will pick us up and bring us over to the Shipyard.
What will we see?: We’ll see the Captain’s House, view the prison from the outside, and visit the Heritage Center, including the room where the 1905 treaty was signed to end the Russian-Japanese war. Unfortunately, this tour is NOT wheelchair accessible and requires climbing a flight of stairs.
How do I register?: We are limited to 20 seats, so the tour is on a first come first served basis. You are welcome to invite a companion. PNSY requires this information for each participant 1 week prior to the tour:
Your full name
Your address
Your age
And a statement saying that you are a US citizen (tour is only open to US citizens)
*You must show a valid government-issued ID (ie. A driver’s license) on the day of the tour in order to be allowed to enter the shipyard*
To register, email Ellen Koenig (ellen.koenig123@gmail.com) by May 1, including the info listed above. If we have more people sign up than we can accommodate, we’ll start a waitlist.
Hope you can join us for this special opportunity!
