Fortuneswell is the first town you enter when you go across the causeway to the island. This view is from the land by the Portland Heights Hotel. The War Memorial is there too.
This waterfall is the end-point of Portland's only surviving stream, which rises at Culverwell (about 400m inland). The north-easterly wind was blowing the fresh water into my face as I took this photo.
The white cliffs in the distance are between White Nothe and Lulworth Cove.

We made robots, did some face painting, and had an awesome time!
The Portland High School was constructed in 1919-20 to replace the former high school destroyed by fire in 1918. With an addition constructed in 1936, the school meets national register criterion A for housing the entire Portland public school student population from Kindergarten through twelfth grade from 1920 when it was completed until 1953, when the student population could no longer be contained in the single building. In the 1950s two elementary schools were constructed to house the growing Portland school population, and in 1967 the 1919-20 building was converted into the junior high school when a new high school was constructed. In 1969 the auditorium stage ceased to be used, although the gymnasium continued to serve the junior high school students. In 1991 the 1919-20 building was vacated and sold when a newer high school was constructed and the 1967 high school was converted to the middle school. The Portland High School period of significance is 1919 when construction of the building began until 1963 when it ceased to function as the high school building. The Portland High School is also significant under criterion A because the school’s auditorium/gymnasium
during the building’s early years provided the community’s largest gathering space, used not only for graduation ceremonies and other school-related functions, performances, and sporting events but also for local events of all kinds during the building’s first thirty-five years from the early 1920s to around 1956. The Portland High School’s 1936 addition also meets criterion A as an important local Depression-relief project carried out using assistance from the federal Works
Progress Administration (WPA). School-related lectures, concerts, plays, and commencements were primarily conducted at the
Portland Opera House from 1885 until around 1918, because the previous 1881 high school that
burned could not accommodate large gatherings. The 1920 Portland High School’s combined auditorium/gymnasium could seat up to 500 and provided a place for the whole school to meet together for general sessions, announcements, or lectures by visiting speakers, as well as for commencement exercises. The new High School Auditorium also served as an important
meeting place for local events during the building’s first thirty-five years from the early 1920s until around 1956.
The 1936 Portland High School addition is significant under Criterion A for its association with the Works Progress Administration (WPA). The WPA was one of the largest New Deal agencies
developed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to mitigate the effects of the Great Depression. The WPA program created jobs, and paid unemployed workers to carry out public projects such
as schools. The Portland High School addition presents an important record of the federal relief programs administered in small communities throughout Michigan during the Great Depression.

The history of Portland Castle stretches back from the reign of Henry VIII to the Civil War Sieges, when it was used as a jail for prisoners and enemies of Oliver Cromwell. During the Victorian era, the castle became a private residence for Captain Charles Mannering, the man who built what has now become known as the largest man-made breakwater harbour in the world.
Portland Castle was also used as a Seaplane Station during WWI and as an embarkation point for the D-Day invasion of Northern Europe during WWII.
