Portland Harbour is located beside the Isle of Portland, Dorset, on the south coast of England. Construction of the harbour began in 1849; when completed in 1872, its 520-hectare (1,300-acre) surface area made it the largest man-made harbour in the world, and remains one of the largest in the world today. It is naturally protected by Portland to the south, Chesil Beach to the west and mainland Dorset to the north. It consists of four breakwaters — two southern and two northern. These have a total length of 4.57 km (2.84 miles) and enclose approximately 1,000 hectares (2,500 acres) of water.

  • Portland Habour liegt an der Isle of Portland in Dorset an der Südküste Englands. Portland Habour ist mit 8,6 km² einer der größten von Menschen gebauten Ankerplätze und Häfen der Welt. Die Grundlage des Hafens ist der geschützte Ankerplatz, der von Chesil Beach und der Isle of Portland gebildet wird. Diese Bucht gab Schutz vor dem Wetter für Schiffe außer in östlicher Richtung. König Heinrich VIII. baute Portland Castle und Sandsfoot Castle um diesen Ankerplatz zu schützen. (de)
  • El puerto de Portland se ubica junto a la isla de Portland, Dorset, Inglaterra, y es uno de los más grandes hechos por el ser humano. El puerto original se formó gracias a la protección natural que la costa sur de Inglaterra, Chesil Beach y la isla de Portland ofrecían en este lugar. Prometían resguardo a los barcos de las inclemencias del tiempo precedentes de todas direcciones excepto del este. El rey Enrique VIII construyó el Castillo de Portland y el Castillo Sandsfoot para proteger el ancladero. (es)
  • Le port de Portland est un port adjacent à l'île de Portland en Angleterre. Le port de Portland, avec ses 9 km², est l'un des plus grands ports créés par la main de l'homme, et le second pour sa profondeur. Le port et la ont une particularité : une double marée basse, causée par le temps mis par la marée pour encercler l'île et sa course vers la pointe sud. La première pierre du brise-lames fut posée par le Prince Albert en 1849, et la dernière de la première phase de travaux par le Prince de Galles, Albert Edward, en 1872. Article détaillé : Phare de Portland. (fr)
