A third theory, claiming a derivation from "God's Port" is believed to be a 19th-century invention.

These consisted of two forts, Fort James and Fort Charles, and a series of bastions and double ditches to encircle the town, known as the Gosport Lines. During the Georgian period in 1751 and 1752 they were rebuilt, enlarged and extended. Further additions were made in response to the French invasion threat of 1779. By 1860, the Gosport Lines had 58 guns. No.1 Bastion, for example, had mounted 14 guns in brick lined emplacements firing over the parapet. The 1859 Royal Commission on the Defences of the United Kingdom proposed the completion of <a href="/wiki/Palmerston_Forts,_Portsmouth" class="mw-redirect" title="Palmerston Forts, Portsmouth">a line of forts</a> to protect the outer approach to Gosport town, making the earlier defences redundant. However, they were retained to constrain any expansion of the town towards the new line of forts. From the 1890s road widening meant some parts of the ramparts and gates were demolished. Further sections were demolished in the 1920s and 1960s.

However, it may be considered that the town does not require a railway station due to the ferry connection to <a href="/wiki/Portsmouth_Harbour_railway_station" title="Portsmouth Harbour railway station">Portsmouth Harbour</a>. The <a href="/wiki/Gosport_Ferry" title="Gosport Ferry">Gosport Ferry</a> provides quick access to <a href="/wiki/Portsmouth_Harbour_railway_station" title="Portsmouth Harbour railway station">Portsmouth Harbour railway station</a>, terminus of the <a href="/wiki/Portsmouth_Direct_Line" class="mw-redirect" title="Portsmouth Direct Line">Portsmouth Direct Line</a> to <a href="/wiki/London" title="London">London</a>. Due to heavy traffic (see below) this ferry is very well used. At one time the Gosport Ferry Company operated steam ferries, until the arrival in 1966 of two identical (and then very modern) diesel ferries, named <i>Gosport Queen</i> and <i>Portsmouth Queen</i>. In 1971 a third ferry called <i>Solent Enterprise</i> joined the fleet. She was a slightly larger, more luxurious version of the "Queens". The company now operates two new modern ferries along with the two 1966 veterans. The first was built in 2001 and is named <i>Spirit of Gosport</i>. After the retirement of the <i>Solent Enterprise</i> in 2003, a second modern and slightly larger ferry was added to the fleet and was named the <i>Spirit of Portsmouth</i>. All ferries have been able to carry cycles and motorcycles. </p><p>Gosport received its railway before Portsmouth, but it closed to passengers in 1953. In 1841 a railway opened between the <a href="/wiki/London_and_Southampton_Railway" title="London and Southampton Railway">London and Southampton Railway</a> at <a href="/wiki/Eastleigh_railway_station" title="Eastleigh railway station">Eastleigh</a> via <a href="/wiki/Fareham_railway_station" title="Fareham railway station">Fareham</a> to Gosport, where a <a href="/wiki/Terminal_station" class="mw-redirect" title="Terminal station">terminus</a> was built to an <a href="/wiki/Italianate" class="mw-redirect" title="Italianate">Italianate</a> design of Sir <a href="/wiki/William_Tite" title="William Tite">William Tite</a>. <a href="/wiki/Gosport_railway_station" title="Gosport railway station">Gosport railway station</a> was intended to serve Portsmouth across the water, but was sited at Gosport away from the harbour because the railway company was not allowed to breach either the <a href="/wiki/Hilsea_Lines" title="Hilsea Lines">Hilsea Lines</a>, defences at the northern end of <a href="/wiki/Portsea_Island" title="Portsea Island">Portsea Island</a> protecting <a href="/wiki/Portsmouth" title="Portsmouth">Portsmouth</a>, or the Gosport Lines protecting depots such as Royal Clarence Yard. </p><p>An extension to Royal Clarence Yard was opened in 1846, and branch lines to <a href="/wiki/Stokes_Bay" title="Stokes Bay">Stokes Bay</a> (open from 1863 to 1915), and to <a href="/wiki/Lee-on-the-Solent" title="Lee-on-the-Solent">Lee-on-the-Solent</a> (open to passengers 1894 to 1931). Due to declining traffic, the connection to Fareham was closed for passenger services in 1953 and to freight traffic in 1969, although trains to the armament depot in Frater ran until the late 1970s. </p><p>The trackbed of the former Gosport – Fareham railway is now an exclusive fast bus route and cycle lane. Tite's station building has been retained for its historical and architectural value and has been converted into a small number of residential properties and offices. The main gate in Spring Garden Lane has been opened up for vehicle access. A further development of six terraced homes has been built at the north western end of the site linking with George Street.<sup id="cite_ref-19" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Being a peninsula town without a railway system, Gosport relies heavily upon the major <a href="/wiki/A32_road" title="A32 road">A32 road</a> in and out of the town. Plans existed in the 1970s to widen the road to accommodate expected increases in traffic flow, but this did not take place. In the early 1990s a computerised system controlling traffic lights along the route was installed to improve the rate of flow of traffic but this failed to work and had to be switched off since it could not cope with the traffic volumes. Now, in the 21st century, the A32 is much the same as it was thirty years ago<sup class="noprint Inline-Template" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Manual_of_Style/Dates_and_numbers#Chronological_items" title="Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers"><span title="The time period mentioned near this tag is ambiguous.
