Portsmouth Olympic Harbour

Portsmouth Olympic Harbour is a harbour located in Kingston, Ontario.^[1]^[2] The harbour was redeveloped for the sailing events of the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal.^[3]^[4]

Portsmouth Harbour, originally known as Hatter's Bay, was constructed in the 1800s as a convenient means of providing supplies and transporting prisoners to Kingston Penitentiary.^[5] It was significantly modified and refurbished in 1974 and 1975. The Canadian Olympic-training Regatta, Kingston (CORK), a non-profit volunteer organization was a key element in bringing the 1976 Olympics to Kingston. Since then, the harbour has been a venue for annual Olympic-quality sailing events.^[6]
