The Whitehead torpedo was the first self-propelled or "locomotive" torpedo ever developed.[a] It was perfected in 1866 by Robert Whitehead from a design conceived by Giovanni Luppis of the Austro-Hungarian Navy. It was driven by a three-cylinder compressed air engine invented, designed, and made by Peter Brotherhood. Many naval services procured the Whitehead torpedo during the 1870s, including the US Navy.[7] This early torpedo proved itself in combat during the Russo-Turkish War when, on January 16, 1878, the Turkish ship Intibah was sunk by Russian torpedo boats carrying Whiteheads,[2] though this story has been disputed in one book.
Wonderful clip to watch. Torpedo factory and pier were sited on the other side of Portland harbour and demolished in 1997, now a housing estate.
I have one word to say......Class.
"Class" I wouldn't go that far mark. :-)
I've only ever seen two videos of this place, so I thought I'd give it a bash.
It's a fair old distance to the end of the breakwater and I bottled out halfway.
Shame on me.
Lovely work,fab music.
Where I grew up. Was just there a couple of days ago, beautiful.
It is a beautiful place I was down there last bank holiday film in the Lighthouse and a few locations around Weymouth

I used to work there too... I think I might remember you!
When the weather's like this why would anyone go abroad? You can't beat Weymouth for hols - from a Hertfordshire holidaymaker!

Very nice video THF. Smooth flying and nice scenery...I really like the "You only live twice" music. Good stuff.
Like from me.
Thanks Mike, I thought the bond music would be rather fitting, as this site was used to test top secret torpedoes.
The scenery is amazing brother like#40

Water looks great mate, did you go in?
No mate, didn't have any trunks with me, but my son did, went
In his boxer shorts for a swim. Then drip dried. Was a great day.
