Abstract
Resonant frequencies and their Q (sharpness) have been derived for rectangular harbors characterized by length d, width b, entrance width a, and assumed incident wave length; it is found that Q increases with increasing b/a and d/a, thus leading to paradoxical result that narrowing of harbor mouth diminishes protection from seiching.Keywords
