Can you build a ship next to a harbor or a regular settlement in Explorers & Pirates?
Several experienced players in the threads agree; there is no official ruling.

Only beside a harbor settlement. A new ship must go on a sea route touching one of your harbor settlements, so a regular settlement alone does not let you build a ship.
