Langlands Park School was owned by The Church of Scotland I think. It was down behind Port Glasgow cemetary, beside Sunnybank House. We always knew it as the bad girls school, I think it was wayward teenage girls who lived there. I remember being told years ago that there was an orphanage down there, but I'm not sure if it was Langlands Park or Sunnybank. I remember going to St. Martins church when I was little, and the girls from Langlands Park would be there. Don't think the building is there anymore, or if it is don't know what it is used for.

A harbour is a place where ships may shelter from the weather or are stored. Harbors can be man-made or natural. A man-made harbor will have sea walls or breakwaters and may require dredging. A natural harbor is surrounded on most sides by land.

Harbors and ports are often confused. A port is a man-made coastal or riverine facility where boats and ships can load and unload. It may consist of quays, wharfs, jetties, piers and slipways with cranes or ramps. A port may have magazine buildings or warehouses for storage of goods and a transport system, such as railway, road transport or pipeline transport facilities for relaying goods inland.

in short a port is used mainly for marine trading and a harbour is used as a parking space or a storage space for ships

I am going to try and improve this answer slightly. I think with the word "port" there is a little more guarantee that there is "port authority" involved and more police patrol, protection, guarantees for security for import and export trade business etc. A harbor doesn't necessarily define that. However many ports are called Harbors because they originally were harbors without port authority. All ports are harbors. All harbors are not ports.

The shoreline around New York Harbor is very steep, and underwater it drops off and becomes very deep very quickly. This makes it an ideal harbor, as there are no shallow places that boats can get stuck on.

That is one of the primary reasons New York has become such a major city: it's a geologically perfect port city.

Additionally, the city is located at the mouth of a major river (the Hudson).
