Portsmouth: Naval Shipyard, Naval Medical Center, and the Olde Towne Waterfront
Portsmouth occupies the western bank of the Elizabeth River opposite Norfolk. The two cities formed as a pair during the colonial era and remain connected by ferry, the Downtown Tunnel, and the Midtown Tunnel. Norfolk Naval Shipyard, located within Portsmouth despite its name, has operated continuously since 1767 and is the oldest government shipyard in the United States. It specializes in repair, maintenance, and overhaul of nuclear-powered vessels and employs around 10,000 civilian workers alongside uniformed personnel.
Naval Medical Center Portsmouth, standing on the waterfront near the shipyard, is the oldest continuously operating Navy hospital in the country, founded in 1830. It serves as the primary military treatment facility for the Hampton Roads fleet. The Olde Towne Portsmouth historic district along High Street preserves the largest concentration of historic architecture between Alexandria and Charleston, South Carolina.
The city's Children's Museum of Virginia and the Commodore Theatre, a restored 1945 art deco cinema on High Street, draw regional visitors. The downtown ferry across the Elizabeth River has operated in some form since the 1600s and continues as a pedestrian connection to Norfolk's Town Point Park.
