100 years ago this week, delegates from overseas converged on Portsmouth, New Hampshire, to begin working towards a peaceful resolution to the Russo-Japanese War. The city opened its arms wide to welcome hundreds of visitors, including dignitaries and journalists from around the world. We'll take a trip back in time to look at what life was like for Portsmouth residents during this exciting time and explore the historic relations between the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard and the city itself. Shay's guests are Peter Randall, author of There Are No Victors Here: A Local Perspective on the Treaty of Portsmouth, and Peter Bowman, former commander of the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard.
