Yes the Numenoreans did build a haven close to Eraidor in the North, where they gathered lumber to take back to Numenor. And could sail up as far as Tharbad. They built Lond Daer at the mouth of the River Gwathlo, Called Vinyalonde during the time of Tar Aldarion. More can be found in the Tale of Aldarion and Erendis in Unfinished Tales.
