Due to the big tidal difference, ships lie in the mud at low tide
Ships with a keel would be damaged at low tide
A lock at the harbour entrance keeps the water back at low tide. 
It is only opened 2 1/2 half hours before high tide to let ships and water in and is closed again 2 1/2 hours after high tide
