PORTSMOUTH HARBOUR.
Gradually increasing in importance from the twelfth to the sixteenth centuries, Portsmouth had become the most important naval station in the kingdom so far back as the reign of Henry VIII. The most attractive feature is the noble land-locked harbour, entered by the narrow neck between Gosport and Portsmouth, and large enough to contain the entire British navy. The various establishments of the dockyard and arsenal are ranged inside the entrance, and the whole is commanded by extensive fortifications. Nelson's old flag-ship, the Victory, is moored within its area, and the training-ship St. Vincent can also be visited.
