There are creaky wooden walkways with empty sections where boats can rest.  There are a few buildings surrounding this area that sell supplies to sailors.
Dock, Port

sailor
I am a sailor traveling the vast ocean with my big sailboat. I was sent by the king to voyage the seas. I do not like running into sea monsters.
W What do you mean that means nothing to me? Apologies I just bit my tongue, what is it I can help you with sir? I am here to find the captain. Well that sounds bad, I cannot say I have seen him for a few hours. Well I will wait until he arrives again. Last I knew he had left the dock to go into the town for some supplies for the next voyage. I would hope that he is back soon. Well I will go there, I cannot wait here all day. I assume he has been skipping out on his taxes again? Yes he has not paid them for years. I see, he had that problem before. I never understood what the difficulty was. Some people are just trouble makers.
