History Ruins
What is a ruin? We’re running off of “You know it when you see it” at the moment. Ruins should be non-functioning structures of some age, or their function reduced to tourism and the like.
Generally speaking, specific items from a ruin should go to !historyartifacts@lemmy.world
Illustrations of ruins (or their reconstructions) should go to !historyillustrations@lemmy.world
Photos of ruins back when they were functioning should go to !HistoryPorn@lemmy.world

Oppose to natural harbors?
I think the word you might want to use is "provisional".
I mean, natural harbors are a thing.
... but also yes, that's probably a better term. I'll edit the title.
