Description
Taken from the project website (Accessed 2016-09-06):

This web site presents work done to collect, identify and locate ancient harbours and ports. It is based on a study of existing documentation. The result is a list of over 4000 ancient ports based on the writings of 71 ancient authors and over 100 modern authors, incl. the Barrington Atlas. A few “potential ancient harbours” from a nautical point of view, have been added, based on nautical guides/pilots used by modern sailors. [...]
