Inland harbor

An inland harbor (or inland harbour) is a harbor that is distant from the ocean or sea, such as Berlin, Germany, Chicago, Illinois, or Paris, France. Inland harbors are connected to a large body of water by an important river or canal passing near the center of the city.

The Danube in Europe, the Mississippi River in the United States, and the Yangtze River in the People's Republic of China are transportation routes for many cities in each case.
