Thanks for the hint! Please have a look at: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/553850/LevelsOfDetail.png The black line between the grey and the blue area is the level of detail Natural Earth provides for the borders between land and ocean - at least for what I found in their download area. The blue lines show the level of detail I am looking for. It is the port of Calais and I need to visualise as many details of the harbour basins as possible.
Any suggestions? I downloaded the blue-lines-layer from the Europe-shapefile-base from cloudmade. Unfortunately they do not provide "land"-layers.
