About Harbor

Ships, cranes and quaysides

Harbour sets deal with the working waterfront of a City town. Containers are lifted off ships, ferries carry cars across the water and speedboats arrive on trailers towed by 4x4s. Large hull elements form the ships, while cranes, forklifts and loading areas fill the quay. The subtheme is not a yearly fixture: releases come in occasional waves, which is why the whole range stretches from 2007 to 2024 yet contains just 23 sets. Dock workers in hi-vis clothing, captains and weekend sailors make up most of the minifigure cast.

Landmark releases

City Harbor (7994-1) from 2007 set the tone with 661 pieces. A 2011 wave brought Harbor (4645-1, 552 pieces), Marina (4644-1, 298 pieces) and Power Boat Transporter (4643-1, 255 pieces), giving builders a small leisure port alongside the working dock. By far the largest set is Seaside Harbor with Cargo Ship (60422-1) from 2024, with 1,226 pieces, almost twice the size of anything else in the subtheme.

Smaller boat sets

Between the big harbours sit compact vehicle-and-boat combinations. 4x4 with Powerboat (60085-1) from 2015 has 302 pieces, the Ferry (60119-1) from 2016 has 301, and Race Boat Transporter (60254-1) from 2020 has 239. They are affordable ways to add some water traffic to a layout without committing to a full dock.

Building a waterfront

A harbour gives a City layout a natural edge where roads, rails and water meet. Since older waves are mainly found second-hand, the parts lists on Bricoria help you check crane parts and hulls before buying. Hull sections are specialised elements that ordinary bricks cannot replace, so a missing one matters more than a missing plate. It is worth confirming they are included in any used ship you consider.
