{{See also|:Category:Images of White Harbor|l1=Images of White Harbor}}
White Harbor is located on the eastern shore of the [[White Knife]], where the river empties into a firth of the [[Bite]].{{ref|ADWD|15}} The firth has been free of ice for centuries, even when in the depths of winter.{{ref|ADWD|9}}

White Harbor is clean and well-ordered, with wide straight cobbled streets that make it easy to walk around. Its houses are built of whitewashed stone, with steeply-pitched roofs of dark grey [[slate]].{{ref|ADWD|15}} According to a semi-canon source, there may be an offshoot branch of the [[House Stark|Starks]] in the city.<ref>[[So Spake Martin]]: [http://www.westeros.org/Citadel/SSM/Entry/1239/ The Stark Family], June 10, 2003</ref> White Harbor is defended by city guardsmen.{{ref|ADWD|15}}

The city has access to a variety of seafood,{{ref|ACOK|21}}{{ref|ADWD|15}} and it is also the home of many [[ship]]wrights and [[silver]]smiths.{{ref|ASOS|73}} White Harbor is well regarded for its [[beer]], which includes ale,{{ref|FAB|Jaehaerys and Alysanne - Their Triumphs and Tragedies}} yellow beer,{{ref|ADWD|37}} and a thick black{{ref|ADWD|15}} stout{{ref|ADWD|37}} prized as far away as [[Braavos]] and the [[Port of Ibben]].{{ref|ADWD|15}} Ships frequently travel the Bite between White Harbor and the [[Three Sisters]]. White Harbor sells wood, wool, and hides, and in return the [[Sistermen]] sell [[crab]], fish, and [[goat]] [[cheese]].{{Ref|ADWD|9}}

===Outskirts===
* [[Seal Rock]] is a massive stone dominating the approaches to the Outer Harbor. It is crowned with a [[ringfort]] of weathered stones of the [[First Men]] that stood desolate and abandoned for centuries. However, the Manderlys fortify it with crossbowmen, [[Scorpion (weapon)|scorpions]], and spitfires. The stone looms fifty feet above the waters, grey-green in color. [[Seal]]s often rest on it.{{Ref|ADWD|15}}

*The harbor is divided into the inner and outer harbors. The outer harbor is larger, but the inner harbor offers better anchorage and shelter by the city wall on one side and the looming mass of the Wolf's Den on another. A mile-long, thirty foot wall, with towers every hundred yards, is located on the jetty that separates the two harbors.{{Ref|ADWD|15}}

*The [[Wolf's Den]] is an ancient fortress that now serves as a prison. It is located by the water and adjoins the city walls. Houses cling like barnacles to the walls of the Wolf's Den; one is a brewhouse which makes well-regarded black [[beer]]. The [[godswood of White Harbor]] is found within the prison's walls.{{Ref|ADWD|15}}

*A fish market is located between the outer harbor and the Seal Gate. Seafood available at White Harbor include clams,{{ref|ACOK|21}} [[cod]],{{ref|ACOK|21}}{{ref|ADWD|15}} [[crab]]s,{{ref|ACOK|21}} [[eel]]s,{{ref|AGOT|55}} [[herring]],{{ref|ACOK|21}}{{ref|ADWD|15}} [[lamprey]]s,{{ref|ACOK|21}} [[lobster]],{{ref|ACOK|21}} mussels,{{ref|ACOK|21}} oysters,{{ref|ADWD|32}} [[salmon]],{{ref|ACOK|21}} [[whitefish]],{{ref|ACOK|21}} and [[winkle]]s.{{ref|ACOK|21}}

* The [[New Castle]] is the seat of House Manderly. It is located on a hill inside the city wall, and the Castle Stair leads to its gates from the Wolf's Den below.{{ref|ADWD|15}} There is a secret passage beneath the Castle Stair connecting the New Castle with the cellars of the Wolf's Den.{{ref|ADWD|29}}

* The [[Merman's Court]] is the great hall of the New Castle where Lord Manderly holds court and feasts. Its walls, floor, and ceiling are made of wooden planks notched cunningly together and decorated with all the creatures of the sea.{{Ref|ADWD|19}}
