Rotterdam (the Netherlands) WAS the biggest artifical harbour in the world from 1962 to 2004, but is surpassed by the harbour of Shanghai now. See Dutch wiki> 'haven van rotterdam' for a top 10 of biggest harbours in the world.

[edit] Magazine building

What exactly is a "magazine building" refered to in the first section? I am unfamiliar with this term, and a quick search on WP & the web didn't turn up any definitions, but I didn't want to remove it in case it is a familiar term in other parts of the world. Johnb210 18:22, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

I live in England and I have no idea what a magazine building is! - Adrian Pingstone

A magazine is a store such as a warehouse. It is a very common Flemish and Dutch word. The nearest English comparison I would make would be a magazine for ammunition. MalcolmSm1th (talk) 04:48, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Impounded Harbours

How about a section on impounded harbo(u)rs. John Yeadon --JohnYeadon 00:10, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Harbor Articles

Many of the cities on the natural harbor list have their own articles dedicated to the harbors - should we change the links from the main city article to the harbor? See Boston Harbor and New York Harbor as examples CSZero 15:25, 28 March 2007 (UTC) ur gay
