This is an incomplete list of the world's deepest natural harbours. A natural harbour is a sheltered body of water deep enough for anchorage, often formed as a flooded estuary like a ria. These harbours hold significant strategic naval and economic value, often serving as the foundations for major cities. Their inherent protection reduces the need for man-made structures like breakwaters, ensuring calmer conditions within.

Compiling a list of the world's deepest natural harbours is challenging due to varying coastline shapes and limited data availability. Comparisons are further complicated by irregularities and the need for continuous dredging in some areas. Factors such as catchment area, average depth, deepest and , and total area also contribute to evaluating these harbours. Deep water ports which have depths greatly

Sheridan, established in 1967, was founded by Italian-Australian entrepreneur Claudio Alcorso. His background in the family textile printing business in Italy provided him with extensive knowledge of textiles. Upon migrating to Australia, Alcorso brought with him a profound appreciation for quality and a passion for art and beauty. Claudio believed in the integration of art into everyday life, not limited to gallery walls.

Claudio's enthusiasm for Australian art and culture left a lasting impact on the country. His endeavors ranged from collaborations with renowned artists in the 1940s to co-founding the Australian Opera and playing a significant role in pioneering Tasmania's wine industry. Claudio Alcorso was a pivotal figure in shaping Australia's history.

Recognizing the inherent beauty in Australia, Claudio aimed to infuse art into domestic spaces, seamlessly blending the inspirational with daily living. His vision was to "introduce creative thought and beauty into the everyday things of life."

The Hobart Devils are a defunct professional basketball team that competed in Australia's National Basketball League (NBL). Based in Hobart, Tasmania, the team was the only representative from the state of Tasmania for the majority of its tenure, but was one of three teams (the Geelong Supercats and the Gold Coast Rollers being the other two) that had their NBL licenses revoked by the league directors in 1996 due to financial difficulties. While not the first time teams had pulled out of the league, the sudden departure of the Devils, Supercats and Rollers signified that the NBL's successful era (between the late 1980s and early 1990s) was truly over. Tasmania went unrepresented in the National Basketball League for 26 years, until the commencement of the 2021–22 NBL season with the inclusion of the Tasmania JackJumpers. The JackJumpers, a new state team, play half of their home matches at the MyState Bank Arena, affectionately called the "Devil's Den" by commentators and fans alike during the reign of the Hobart Devils.

The club played out of the Kingborough Sports Centre from 1983 to 1988. For the 1989 NBL season, they then moved into the larger (5,400-seat) and more modern Derwent Entertainment Centre where they stayed until folding in 1996. The move into the new arena gave the club access to a larger venue, but the Tassie Devils evidently left their "magic" at Kingborough, where they had been very hard to defeat, generally in the role of the underdog in seasons 1986, 1987 and 1988, with these three years played before sell-out crowds in the cozy 1,800-seat arena. During Devils home games, the home court arena was often referred to as the "Devils Den" by local TV commentators. The Devils were determined to shed the "easy beat" reputation and achieved a three season era of relative success, topped by their most successful, and only winning season in NBL competition, in 1987, notching a 14-win, 12-loss league record. That team featured good chemistry and a high-powered offense, and included in the side: Steve Carfino, Paul Stanley, Jerry Dennard, Wayne Burden, Peter Mann, Dan VH Pelikaan, Murray Shields, Rick Hodges, and Paul Simpson whilst being coached by American Dave "Doc" Adkins and assisted by Pat Whalen, and ably led by club president, Tasmanian Wayne Monaghan, who moved the club's financial planning up from the chook raffle to some supportive local business sponsorships.

In June 1993, Devils players accepted a 50% pay cut.^[24][25]

The National Basketball League lost a team, the Hobart Devils, following the closure of their public float. Despite initiating the drive for funds on October 26, the club only managed to accumulate approximately $275,000, leaving a shortfall of about $225,000 required to meet their $500,000 minimum target.^[26]General Manager Glenn Phair expressed concerns about the club's survival, stating that a substantial change was necessary for it to continue. Unfortunately, as the funds fell short by the 5 pm deadline, the NBL directors were anticipated to confirm the demise of the Devils at their meeting in Sydney on Saturday, reducing the league from 14 to 13 teams in 1994.^[27][28]

The potential loss of the Devils, who had been part of the NBL since 1983, would have dealt a significant blow to the league's stature as a national competition. It also represented a setback for basketball in Tasmania, which had previously seen the folding of Launceston in 1981 and the collapse of the Devonport Warriors after the 1983 and 1984 seasons. Hobart had encountered financial struggles following the departure of Cascade Breweries as a major sponsor the previous year. In an effort to complete the season, players had accepted a 50% pay cut in July. The NBL had initially provided an extension until the end of the year's fixtures to secure a sponsor, but when the float proposal emerged as a last-ditch effort for survival, this deadline was waived. The float aimed for a minimum target of $500,000 and capped at $1 million in its prospectus.

Glenn Phair, who had approached numerous potential major sponsors without success, recognized the challenging financial climate, stating, "It's tough times, and people haven't got much money." His sentiment expressed concern that without the Devils, Tasmania would regress as a basketball hub.

The club was known as Hobart Tassie Devils from 1987 to 1995, but reverted to Hobart Devils in its final season.
