harbours
Where vessels anchor
Harbours is the British spelling of harbors.
A harbour is a sheltered body of water where ships dock and find protection from open seas: The fishing boats returned to harbour before the storm.
To harbour is to shelter or conceal—often someone or something unwanted: harbouring a fugitive, harbouring resentment.
The noun extends to any place of refuge or safety.
