The noun haven turned into a verb of sheltering, and it takes an object: a breakwater havens a fleet, a charity havens families. The noun's plural is spelled the same way, as in safe havens, so what follows the word is the giveaway. A cove that havens the boats uses the verb, while the quiet havens along the coast are nouns.
