David Paton and Mae McKenna guest. Contains a total of 13 tracks, including 'Irish Air' and 'The Hour Candle (A Song for My Father)'. Released on the band's own Camel Productions label. The album's title stems from Cobh Harbor in Ireland, a beautiful deep water port in County Cork where hundreds upon thousands of fractured Irish families immigrating to America took their final look at Ireland. ## Images ![Harbour of Tears - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71gDNMORqoL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Fusing pure Camel and gaelic charm; simply beautiful *by C***Y on Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2015* Another concept album from my favourite band, this one telling the story of the Irish who sailed from Cobe harbour (hence the title) leaving their families behind in search of a better life. It is simply beautiful from start to finish, fusing pure Camel with subtle gaelic charm using a wide range of instruments to drive it along. And, of course, that lovely Andrew Latimer guitar... ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Camel did it again *by O***O on Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2020* Sold by mymediaworld. A musical tribute to the Irish migration. It was hard to find item. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars A Pleasant Surprise *by M***Z on Reviewed in the United States on January 7, 2014* Most of the great progressive rock bands of the 70s kind of simplified their music into a more straight-ahead rock, a few of the prog (and 80s neoprog) bands still retain their classic sound on some later releases. With "Harbour of Tears" Camel stands out by producing an album that's worthy of their classic legacy yet still covering new ground. The album is very melodic and full of instrumental work, like their 70s classics, yet has it's own sound - it's got symphonic elements (that kind of remind me of the Moody Blues) as well as Celtic influences, neither of which sound like their classic stuff, although they sound like a valid continuation of it. Overall, this is a fine example of what I like about Camel - somewhat mellow, melodic progressive rock with singing but an overall instrumental focus. Might be worth five stars, but it's still growing on me. I put off checking out late Camel for years, because of these albums were on the pricey end (over $20) and I figured they'd probably gone mainstream like everyone else of their era. Now that their later albums seem to be available for average CD prices, I'm realizing my mistake - they're definitely worth getting! (I also have the fine A Nod & A Wink, and I'll be picking up the rest soon!). --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/10969924-harbour-of-tears](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/10969924-harbour-of-tears) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
