Harbor
A harbor or harbour (see spelling differences), or haven, is a place where ships may shelter from the weather or are stored. Harbors can be man-made or natural. A man-made harbor will have sea walls or breakwaters and may require dredging. A natural harbor is surrounded on most sides by land.

Harbors and ports are often confused. A port is a man-made coastal or riverine facility where boats and ships can load and unload. It may consist of quayswharfsjettiespiers and slipways with cranes or ramps. A port may have magazine buildings or warehouses for storage of goods and a transport system, such as railwayroad transport or pipeline transport facilities for relaying goods inland.
