North Mole, Gibraltar Harbour
The North Mole is a breakwater located in the northern section of Gibraltar Harbour, in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar, at the southern end of the Iberian Peninsula. The North Mole, with the rest of harbour, is just north of the east entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar. The breakwater was formerly known as the Commercial Mole, and is the site of the commercial port in the harbour. It was the consequence of a late nineteenth century plan by the British Admiralty to create a modern dockyard and large defensive harbour in Gibraltar.Coordinates: 36°08′55″N 5°21′55″W / 36.1485°N 5.3652°W
The North Mole at Gibraltar Harbour (pictured), in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar, at the southern end of the Iberian Peninsula, is one of a trio of breakwaters (shown on map) that provides protection to the harbour, in addition to that which results from the presence of the Rock of Gibraltar on its east side. The North Mole is positioned at the northern and western aspects of the northern section of the harbour, which is located just north of the east entrance to the Strait of Gibraltar. The L-shaped breakwater includes a Western Arm which runs south toward the Detached Mole, and measures 500 metres (1,600 ft) in length. The northern section of the harbour features the commercial port, which has a total length of almost 2,300 metres (7,500 ft) of quay on the North Mole (including its Western Arm) for cruise ships, cargo handling, and bunkering. Fifteen berths are available, including six on the Western Arm and two on an extension jetty.
