Portsmouth Olympic Harbour
Portsmouth Olympic Harbour is a harbour located in Kingston,[1][2] Ontario. For the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, it hosted the sailing events.[3][4]
Portsmouth Harbour was constructed in the 1800s to supply coal and materials to Kingston Penitentiary. CORK, then known as Canadian Olympic-Training Regatta Kingston began in 1969. The success of CORK was a key element in bringing the 1976 Olympics to Kingston. The harbour was significantly modified and refurbished in 1974 and 1975. Since then, it has played host to the Canadian Olympic-training Regatta, Kingston (CORK), an annual event.[5]
