Description

A harbour with plenty going on

At 1,078 pieces this is one of the more substantial Town models of its day. The name explains the idea: cargo is loaded from the quay onto a vessel. Seven minifigures populate the scene, a decent crew for dock workers, a captain and sailors. If you enjoy scenes full of movement, this model suggests fresh routines every time you play with it, from unloading the cargo to casting off. The busy quayside gives each of the seven figures a job to do.

White, grey, black and red

White, light grey, black and red define the look, which suits ship hulls, harbour walls and containers just as you would expect. With 160 different part types the choice is wide, so there are plenty of special shapes for details such as superstructures, cranes and railings. That keeps the build varied, since hardly any section resembles the one before, and the finished model looks correspondingly detailed. If you take your time, you will keep running into small, clever solutions along the way.

Play with it or add it to town

The set appeared in 1991 and combines well with other classic Town sets. If you have already built a coastal town or a station, the harbour makes a fitting end point for the supply chain. As a collectable it is of interest because large harbour models of this period are rarely found complete these days. It works for display too, as it holds many little scenes that reward a closer look. Between cranes, crates and boats you keep spotting new little details, even after years.

Check parts and mix them up

On this page you can see the parts list with all 160 types, ideal for verifying that a second-hand copy is complete. The “What can I build?” tool works out which other models your bricks could make. For a set of this size that is worthwhile, because the many basic bricks, plates and vehicle parts are useful in countless building projects. With a bit of imagination the harbour parts also turn into shipyards, warehouses or small factories.
