Marker Showcases History of Naval Shipyard KITTERY An interpretive marker showcasing the history of Portsmouth Naval Shipyard was unveiled recently in the Kittery Foreside, and those responsible for its installation were the first to see it. The panel is located right in the heart of the Foreside, within the triangle formed by Lil’s CafĂŠ, Rudders Public House and AJ’s Wood Grill Pizza – who also happen to be the businesses which donated to the marker. The spot is also just outside the main gate of the Shipyard. “In the grand scheme of things, I realize this is a two-bytwo panel in a town of 10,000 people in a world of billions,â€? local author D.

This support legitimized the historical effort in the eyes of the community, he said. The patrons of Bob’s Clam Hut wound up donating $300 thru the restaurant’s tip jar campaign.
AJ’s owner Eides Ares, Rudders co-owner Jeff Kilty – who also works at the Shipyard – and Michael Landgarten, owner of both Lil’s and Bob’s, were all on hand to see the product of their contributions. The museum was represented by Kim Sanborn and Barbara Estes. The Shipyard’s commanding officer, Capt. William Greene, helped with the unveiling and paid tribute to the relationship between the facility and the town. “Our employees are part of these communities,� Greene noted.
