Portsmouth, in the United Kingdom, is a port city located in Hampshire, England, sitting primarily on Portsea Island, about seventy miles south-west of London and just about nineteen miles south-east of Southampton. And if it interests you, you can trace its history all the way back to Roman times. A naval port for centuries, Portsmouth, UK claims to have the world‛s oldest dry dock; and it was England‛s fi rst line of defense when the French invaded England in 1545. Afraid of another invasion from not so far off Europe, special Palmerston Forts were built in 1859. During the early-19th century, Portsmouth was thought of as the most heavily fortifi ed city in the entire world!
