Things around a Fishing Village

Now we're going to look at different things around a fishing village.

Harbor

A harbor is a place where ships and boats are safe and protected from dangerous weather. Fishermen leave their boats here.

Breakwater

Large rocks that help protect ships in the harbor from big waves. Breakwaters absorb the energy of waves that hit it.
