A harbor (American English) or harbour (Commonwealth English) is a sheltered part of a body of water where ships, boats, and barges can be moored. The term harbor is often used interchangeably with port, however port refers specifically to the facilities for loading and unloading ships, as opposed to just a sheltered area of water.
