Atlantic Corp.
Portsmouth NH
Most recent update: August 24, 2021.
The Atlantic Corp. shipyard was established in 1918, on the site of a failed paper factory in the area of the Piscataqua River Bridge, and folded in 1920. The company also built a housing estate for its workers, adjacent to the shipyard. The shipyard site is now occupied by a Boise Cascade plant and a National Gypsum plant. See it from the air on Google here. In Google's maximum magnification, you used to be able to see the shadow of the old launch ways under the water, in line with the axis of the National Gypsum plant, which must have been built on the foundations used by the shipyard's fabrication shop. The building with the black roof is believed to be the only one on the site that dates back to the shipyard. The housing estate is just to the northwest, separated from the shipyard by I-95.
