*************

Weymouth /ˈweɪməθ/ is a seaside town in Dorset, England, situated on a sheltered bay at the mouth of the River Weyon the English Channel coast. The town is 11 kilometres (7 mi) south of Dorchester and 8 kilometres (5 mi) north of the Isle of Portland. The town's population is 52,323 (2011). Weymouth has a metropolitan population of 71,083 (2016).^[2]The town is the third largest settlement in Dorset after the unitary authorities of Bournemouth and Poole.^[3]

Weymouth is a tourist resort, and its economy depends on its harbour and visitor attractions; the town is a gateway situated halfway along the Jurassic Coast, a World Heritage Site on the Dorset and east Devon coast, important for its geology and landforms. Weymouth Harbour has included cross-channel ferries, and is home to pleasure boats and private yachts, and nearby Portland Harbour is home to the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy, where the sailing events of the 2012 Olympic Games and Paralympic Games were held.

The A354 road bridge connects Weymouth to Portland, which together form the borough of Weymouth and Portland. The history of the borough stretches back to the 12th century; including involvement in the spread of the Black Death, the settlement of the Americas, the development of Georgian architecture, and a major departure point for the Normandy Landings.

...

There are over two hundred events held throughout the year in the borough,^[56] including firework festivals, dragon boat racing, beach volleyball,^[57] handball^[58] and motocross,^[59] and the annual carnival in mid-August, which attracts around 70,000 people each year.^[11][56] Weymouth is the only port in the world to have hosted the start of The Tall Ships' Races three times^[60]—in 1983, 1987 and 1994; the 1994 race attracting 300,000 spectators.^[61]
