Portland Harbour
Portland Harbour, located near Dorset on England's south coast,
boasts a rich history. Completed in 1872, it was once the world's largest
man-made harbor. Natural shelters like Chesil Beach and Portland Isle surround it.
The harbor is protected by four breakwaters totaling nearly 3 miles long.
