Across the harbour from Ynys Porthe and the airport is the seaport of Níwehythe, the main shipping docks for Glowanceaster and the Mearcgræf metropolitan area. For centuries, the wharves only serviced the fishing fleet and other small vessels, as the relatively shallow harbour meant larger ships, both civil and naval, had trouble with grounding. With the increase in shipping through the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the deeper, but smaller Mearcgræfport was increasingly unable to cope with the number of ships. A perfect solution was found in the early 1920s, when it was agreed that the huge requirement for fill material for the new airport at Ynys Porthe would come out of the harbour, creating the large, deep anchorage the growing city desperately needed.</td></tr></table>

The naval station ÐCS Carlow is primarily a training establishment thesedays, with ÐCS Tamar near Ineceaster being home port for the southern fleet. It also serves as a resupply station for naval patrols, as with this destroyer flotilla currently in port: (L-R) ÐCS Ábædan (D-66), ÐCS Gedyrstan (D-72), ÐCS Bréman (D-63), ÐCS Áníedan (D-67), ÐCS Réocan (D-64).

The pride of the King's Navy, the battlecruiser ÐCS Tíw earned a reputation for near-invincibility during World War II, as she managed to sink or disable larger and more powerful Axis warships on several occasions. She earned 17 battle honours, the most by any non-American warship, making Tíw the most celebrated name in the navy with 33 honours overall. Still the King's Navy's nominal flagship, the Tíw is effectively a working museum ship, and travels extensively on goodwill missions around Arthuria and the world.

The Memorial Wharf, located on the King's Navy's old battlecruiser dock, is dedicated to the sailors of the Second World War. Each tree remembers one of the Níwehythe-based warships of the era, and the crews who sailed with them.
