Interesting fact...

In 1803, Portlanders fought off a Naval press gang of twenty-nine men, armed with muskets and bayonets, pistols and cutlasses, in what is now known as the Easton Massacre. A Royal Charter of 1453 had freed Portlanders for ever from Admiralty jurisdiction, and the Islanders knew that the Navy had no right to impress men on the Island.

Interesting fact...

Brunel’s steamship ‘Great Eastern’ was supposed to operate a Transatlantic service from Portland, but whilst in the harbour in 1859 an inconvenient explosion blew the funnel off.
