The Article Title
[edit]Why translate Hafen Hamburg as Hamburg Harbour, when Port of Hamburg is more accurate? The English geographical term "harbour" is not co-extensive with "Hafen", but refers primarily to deep bights in coastlines that provide shelter to ships. Ports reached via rivers are not generally described as harbours. For example, the Port of Tilbury or the Port of Hull would never be termed "harbours." I suggest renaming the article as "Port of Hamburg".--Tacitus 21:07, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Hamburg's port is not called Hamburg Habour (please simply take a look on the official website).
