Harbours do not only have tugs and pilot boats in them, so many different vessels make up a harbour, many of them very glamorous, others functional and hardworking, but all are vital to the smooth operation of our ports. Most of the pictures here were taken in Durban in the period from 1986 till 1995. The classic black and white pics are courtesy of Pete Bower
