Portsmouth Harbour and the Spinnaker Tower
Spinnaker Tower
The Spinnaker Tower is a 170 m (558 ft)–high tower in Portsmouth. It is the centrepiece of the redevelopment of Portsmouth Harbour, which was supported by a National Lottery grant. Its shape was chosen by Portsmouth residents from a selection of concepts. The tower reflects Portsmouth's maritime history by being modelled after a sail. After several years of delays and cost overruns, it was opened on 18 October 2005.
