Landguard's must-stop viewing spot for the Harwich Haven
Shipwatch – What can I see?
Giant cargo ships, pilot boats and sailing yachts, the harbour foot ferry… It’s a real spectacle standing, sitting or even lunching by the Haven and watching the busy water highway of the Orwell estuary.
But there are two sides to the great river and a story behind every vessel in view. So why not find out more about Harwich Haven? Take a look at live stream footage of the port and estuary perhaps, or download an app to track the journeys of the ships you can see before your eyes? Discover where they have come from and even where they are destined for next!
