    Gulag stands for "Chief Administration of Corrective Labor Camps."

    "a gulag" is also shorthand for one of those camps.

    Clearly the OP meant the harbour looked like somewhere you would find a forced labour camp, due to the bleak landscape of concrete and wire. Not sure if it warranted a new thread though :-)

    And this doesn't fit in the harbour thread because?
