It is about {{convert|360|km}} west of Melbourne. The main town on the bay is also named Portland. The western end of the bay is marked by the headland of Point Danger. The bay was named after the Duke of Portland, a Secretary of State and later Prime Minister of Great Britain, by Lieutenant James Grant sailing on the Lady Nelson, on 7 December 1800.[2][3][4][5] The town of Portland later took its name from the bay.[5] References1. ^{{Gazetteer of Australia|name=Portland Bay (VIC)|feature=VIC6426}} {{Bays of Victoria (Australia) |state=autocollapse}}{{VictoriaAU-geo-stub}}2. ^{{Citation | first = James | last = Grant |authorlink = James Grant (navigator) | title = The narrative of a voyage of discovery, performed in His Majesty's vessel the Lady Nelson | place = London | publisher = Roworth | year = 1803 | pages = 195 | isbn = }}, cited in Bird (2006) 3. ^{{Citation | first = Ida| last = Lee | title = The Logbooks of the Lady Nelson | place = London | publisher = Grafton | year = 1915 | pages = 328 | url = http://openlibrary.org/books/OL6580132M/ | accessdate = 2011-02-11 | isbn = }} 4. ^ {{ Citation | title = Chart of the N and W. parts of Bass's Straits discovered and sailed through in a passage from England to Port Jackson in December 1800 in H.M. armed surveying vessel Lady Nelson commanded by Jas.
