It may be known to you, it is speculated that there was an endemic species of pilchard living and foster along the Golden Horn only till the environmental collapse of it's habitat at modern times. Golden Horn is one of the best natural harbour for accommodating a fleet in terms of oceanography that no current, no waves of prevailing gale can disturb, further enough shallow for anchoring but enough deep for bigger vessels. The bottom nature of the Golden Horn is also very suitable for anchoring of old type primitive anchors, since being mud and silt by the composition having the highest holding capacity.
