Press release from the City of Portsmouth: November 19, 2021 According to Marketing Committee member Trevor Bartlett, "Portsmouth NH 400 chose a lighthouse because lighthouses invite, protect, and enlighten; three goals we plan to achieve as we celebrate our city's 400th year here on the NH Seacoast. In addition, Portsmouth's lighthouses serve Greater Portsmouth, a region that is bigger than the geographical borders of the city and make the seacoast the unique place it is. We wanted to choose a symbol that reflects our mission of openness and inclusivity. The lighthouse is also a beacon, a symbol of welcome and safe harbor. That's what we want the Portsmouth NH 400 celebration to be. Lastly, Portsmouth lighthouses are symbols of our maritime history and working port, one of the oldest ports in the country. Like the lighthouse, we hope the Portsmouth NH 400th will stand for future generations. As the slogan says, 'History lights our way.'" This press release was produced by the City of Portsmouth.
