Interesting topic. I would have to say the preeminent harbour city in North America is...........San Francisco! And a harbour town that charmed Sara and I is in your own backyard....Lunenburg, Nova Scotia.

In Europe two towns which we thoroughly enjoyed were Piran, Slovenia on the Adriatic and Collioure, France on the Mediterranean coast in the Languedoc-Roussillon.

How about those of you in Oz? I would think Sydney's worth a mention.

John in San Diego (Oh yeah, we've got a harbour here, too!)
