The Acre harbor was the main port of Acre. Situated in the city's Middle District, it was a location of strategic importance to the Crusader cause and Richard I of England during the Third Crusade.
History[edit | edit source]
The harbor covered a huge area and possessed two lighthouses located to the east and the south of the docks. It was separated from the rest of the city by huge walls, only accessible through two gates.[1]
In 1191, a team of Levantine Assassins traveled to the harbor to kill Isembart, a knight and close friend of William of Montferrat who arrived in the city by ship. The Assassins were successful in their mission, depriving William of Isembart's protection ahead of his assassination at the hands of Altaïr Ibn-La'Ahad.[2]
Later that year, Sibrand, the Grand Master of the Knights Teutonic[3] and secretly a Templar,[4] planned a blockade of the harbor in order to prevent King Richard from receiving aid from overseas.[3] However, Altaïr infiltrated the harbor and assassinated Sibrand on his own ship.[5]
