Here's some history!
Portsmouth is located on the western side of the Elizabeth River directly across from the City of Norfolk. In 1620, the future site of Portsmouth was recognized as suitable shipbuilding location by John Wood, a shipbuilder, who petitioned King James I of England for a land grant. The surrounding area was soon settled as a plantation community.[4]

Portsmouth was founded by Colonel William Crawford, a member of the Virginia House of Burgesses.[5] It was established as a town in 1752 by an act of the Virginia General Assembly and was named for Portsmouth, England.[4]
In 1767, Andrew Sprowle, a shipbuilder, founded the Gosport Shipyard adjacent to Portsmouth. The Gosport Shipyard at Portsmouth was owned by the Commonwealth of Virginia after the American Revolutionary War and was sold to the new United States federal government.
In 1855, the Portsmouth and Norfolk area suffered an epidemic of yellow fever which killed 1 of every three citizens. It became an independent city from Norfolk County in 1858.
During the American Civil War, in 1861, Virginia joined the Confederate States of America. Fearing that the Confederacy would take control of the shipyard at Portsmouth, the shipyard commander ordered the burning of the shipyard. The Confederate forces did in fact take over the shipyard, and did so without armed conflict through an elaborate ruse orchestrated by civilian railroad builder William Mahone (soon to become a famous Confederate officer). The Union forces withdrew to Fort Monroe across Hampton Roads, which was the only land in the area which remained under Union control.
In early 1862, the Confederate ironclad warship CSS Virginia was rebuilt using the burned-out hulk of USS Merrimack. Virginia engaged the Union ironclad USS Monitor in the famous Battle of Hampton Roads during the Union blockade of Hampton Roads. The Confederates burned the shipyard again when they left in May 1862.
Following the recapture of Norfolk and Portsmouth by the Union forces, the name of the shipyard was changed to Norfolk Naval Shipyard. The name of the shipyard was derived from its location in Norfolk County. The Norfolk Naval Shipyard today is located entirely within the city limits of Portsmouth, Virginia. The Norfolk Naval Shipyard name has been retained to minimize any confusion with the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, which itself is actually located in Kittery, Maine, across the Piscataqua River from Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

Top 10 Biggest Ports in the World
The busiest ports in the world are determined on the basis of the container traffic passing through them. Thus, it is not necessary that the biggest ports in the world are also the busiest ports in the world.
The marine domain has increased by leaps and bounds in the past few decades, necessitating port and harbour facilities to accommodate these ever-increasing requirements.
This is precisely why shipping authorities in every nation, are focussing of ensuring that their shipping ports are adequate to cater to the needs of the industry operators and drivers.
However, even while each nation focuses on improving its port infrastructure, there are a few global leaders with marine ports – bigger and busier than all others.
Tour of the Virginia Port Authority | Norfolk
This is a tour of the Port of Virginia which is the Norfolk International Terminals. We got to meet the head and also one of TRFA Class 1 firefighter emeritus handling all of safety and firefighting in the Port. He showed us where the building and Fire Training Grounds are however it was a limited tour.
This is part of a series of videos I took while I was staying at Virginia Beach for 6 months. To watch the whole playlist, tune in to this link: It's a short link to my Youtube playlist.
To view the website of the Virginia Port Authority, check it out here:
In the first part of the video, the head of the Port Authority was explaining how he already knew about us and how he saw us biking along General Booth Boulevard going to and from the Virginia Beach Fire and EMS Training Center at South Birdneck Road. I actually made a video of that here:
In the second part of this video was an alumnus from Virginia Beach's own TRFA 1. I forgot the name so I'm sorry about not being able to credit him. We were all graduates of TRFA 156! So it was kind of surreal that we were able to meet. One of his classmates, Terrence McAndrews was key to how we got to Virginia Beach in the first place.
In the last part of the video was Jeffrey Lapid, fellow Filipino that graduated from TRFA 156 talking to the Safety Officer about methods of adapting to climate exchange. For the life of me the audio was too high in the end. But the conversation missed was how the guy from Virginia Beach Department of Agriculture was so proud of moving their operations to the Virginia Port Authority and it made a difference as it opened the gates to global trade.

Well there's something to be said about just walking through Times Square at night time, or even in daytime in uniform, and it's just amazing to see all the big tall, if you're from Montana or something like that, this is a real experience, but even so if you're from a big city, New York has got so much to offer, go to a ball game, go see the Mets or the Yankees, and everyone just wants to take care of the sailor or Marine when they come in and you walk amongst the city, you're just really proud to be an American.
18. SOUNDBITE: (English) John Rose, US Naval Petty Officer, 2nd class:
It is very nice to see everybody together and everybody actually support each other and having all the civilians appreciate everything that you're doing, my biggest thing while I'm here is I'm going to a Yankees game on Saturday, so that's my big thing.
19. Mid shot naval ship, USS Klakring
STORYLINE:
Flying a huge American flag from its mast, the guided missile cruiser USS Anzio led a parade of nearly a dozen Navy ships and Coast Guard craft up New York Harbour on Wednesday to open the city's 19th annual Fleet Week observance.
Some 4,000 sailors and Marines were expected to spend time, and money, taking in Gotham's sights, sounds and saloons over the next week.
Dozens of servicemen said their first priority was to visit Ground Zero, and then see Times Square or even a ball game.
It is very nice to see everybody together and everybody actually support each other and having all the civilians appreciate everything that you're doing, my biggest thing while I'm here, is I'm going to a Yankees game on Saturday, so that's my big thing, said Petty Officer John Rose.
The event this year was more low-key than usual, with fewer ships, no aircraft carriers, and only one foreign entrant, the British navy's ocean survey vessel HMS Scott.
Past gatherings have included ships from Britain, Canada, France and other nations.
Chris Zendan, civilian spokesman for Fleet Week, said there was no particular cutback in the celebration but the Navy's own priorities determine what ships would be available for the week-long port call.
