St Helier Harbour:

St Helier Harbour is the main harbour in Jersey Channel islands. It is on the south coast of the island, occupying most of the coast of the main town of St Helier. The harbour is used to dock Jersey boats, as well Jersey citizens travelling to and from the Island on the Condor Ferry. It is operated by Ports of Jersey, a company wholly owned by the Government of Jersey.

There are three marinas — the La Collette Yacht Basin, the Saint Helier Marina (built in 1980) and the Elizabeth Marina.

History:

Saint Helier Harbour is named after a 6th-century ascetic hermit from Belgium, Helier. The harbour was constructed in the early 19th century.

Dated pictures from the 19th century:

In 1814, the merchants constructed roads to connect the harbours to the town, which are now known as Commercial Buildings and Le Quai des Marchands. In 1832 construction was finished on the Esplanade and its sea wall. A rapid expansion in shipping led the States of Jersey in 1837 to order the construction of two new piers: the Victoria and Albert Piers.
