    Very interesting map indeed. Quite creative and unusual location for a settlement, not to speak of the harbor. I am curious as to how ships would enter the docks? Perhaps a giant winch of some kind could pull a ship up the rails. Also, I do agree with Arimel, the current would be dramatic, so the rails probably need to be extended to cover the entire precipice of the waterfall to act like a funnel, or a ship might be pushed over the edge of the fall before it can properly align.
    Besides that, a very cool and fantastical map.

    Thank you, Arimel!
    I had never thought about swimming there... Though I'm sure a few of the locals have gone over the falls in barrels just for fun.

    Thanks, Daelin!
    Actually, I created this from a dream I had about the Grey Havens (Lord of the Rings). In my dream the Grey Havens ended in a waterfall, instead of opening to the sea, and the ships would just 'float' down to the water below. Lol. Talking about bizarre! The more I thought about it, the more I liked the idea. I made some practical changes and ended up with this.
    I like the what you said about the funnel-like rails. I wish, I could go back and add that. By the way, I edited my post to explain better, how a ship enters the harbor.
    Thanks for the advise!
