Acre harbor

Acre Harbour was the main port of Acre, located in the middle district of the city, and had a huge strategic meaning to the Crusaders as well as Richard I of England during the Third Crusade.

The harbour covers a huge area and possesses two lighthouses located in the east and the south of the docks. It is seperated from the rest of the city by huge walls, only accessible through two gates called Saint John's Gate.

In 1191, the Templar Sibrand planned a blockade of the harbour in order to prevent King Richard from getting overseas aid. However, the Assassin Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad infiltrated the harbour and assassinated Sibrand on his own ship.
