It runs in a northwest-southeast direction.Based on average vessel speeds, the harbour is strategically located approximately one hour's sailing time north of the Great Circle Route between the Eastern Seaboard and Europe. As such, it is the first inbound and last outbound port of call in eastern North America with transcontinental rail connections.The harbour is largely formed by a drowned glacial valley which succumbed to sea level rise since glaciation.
