KITTERY, Maine (Sept. 5, 2024) – Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PNSY) Commander Capt. Michael Oberdorf; Ambassador Shigeo Yamada, Japanese Ambassador to the United States; U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen, PNSY Nuclear Engineering and Planning Department Head, Steve Fahey, Senior Executive Service; and Tomoaki Ishigaki, Minister of Congressional Affairs, Embassy of Japan, pose for a group photo under a plaque outside of Building 86 commemorating the 1905 signing of the Treaty of Portsmouth, Sept. 5, 2024. The shipyard commemorated the signing with an extended sounding of the shipyard whistle at 3:47 p.m. The treaty stands as one of history's significant achievements in peace negotiations, formally ending the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905. Negotiations were held from Aug. 6 to Aug. 30, 1905, at the shipyard, with the treaty being signed in Building 86 on Sept. 5, 1905. Today, on the anniversary of the treaty's signing, the shipyard welcomes Senator Shaheen, and Ambassador Yamada, for a tour of the Peace Treaty Room.
