Point of Information - Photo - looking east at the Piscataqua River, Maine |
Crossing the Piscataqua River. The Piscataqua River is a river in the northeastern United States. It is a 12 mi (19 km) long tidal estuary formed by the confluence of the Salmon Falls and Cocheco rivers, and flows southeastward, forming part of the boundary between the U.S. states of New Hampshire and Maine. It empties into the Atlantic Ocean near Portsmouth, New Hampshire, where it forms one of the finest natural harbors in the northeastern United States. The Portsmouth Naval Shipyard is located in the river near its mouth.
The drainage basin of the river is approximately 1,495 square miles.
The name of the river derives from a Native American word Piscataquanke, meaning 'a great deer place.

City of Portsmouth, New Hampshire - Welcome to Portsmouth. highway welcome sign |
Long before the Boston Tea Party, Portsmouth citizens provided the gunpowder and stores that fueled the American Revolution and stoked the fires of liberty. If it hadn't been for the first Portsmouth area settler, there never would have been a first Thanksgiving for the Pilgrims. And if it hadn't been for the prowess of Portsmouth shipbuilders, John Paul Jones may never have had a chance to utter the famous words, 'I have not yet begun to fight.' |
