A Personal Guide to Ports of the Channel and the Baltic


Nicholas Hill

This site represents my own opinions and you are free to disagree with them!

The coverage of various ports and harbours is not intended to be comprehensive; all the various areas covered are given as links from the drop down menu at the top. They are all places I have visited.

Although I give navigational tips and waypoints, I give you the obligatory warning that you use these at your own peril - or your own discretion.

A pilot is really most use with charts and photos: I would like to include charts, but copyright precludes this. Aerial photos I find the most useful, so that I can relate the objects on the chart to their appearance in the photo. Google Earth is very useful: as good as any aerial photograph for most harbours.

I have included slideshows of pictures for the harbours that I can: hold the mouse on the links above the picture, and you should see the picture change.

I am writing guides to harbours in the Baltic: so far I have covered eastern Germany from Lübeck to the Polish border [and a few Polish harbours]. These are in pdf form designed to be read on a computer screen. Go to the Baltic Guides page to download them.

If you have any comments, or updates on the harbours, then please do contact me.
