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
tax agent
some kind of police
I enforce the law of the kingdom, and detail all who disobey it. I serve at the pleasure of the Queen, though not willingly. I am in debt, and must serve to pay the taxes owned. I have not seen my family in years. I grow weary from their absence. I spend my nights in the brothels hoping to replace the warmth of my wife in my bed. Nothing works.
Hello there tax agent. Hi, and thanks for meeting me. Is this the dock which has been serving as a tax haven?  It would seem to be so, that is the word I got. It must be judging by the strange look of this place. We must catch these tax thieves. I appreciate your help in the matter. Here, write the names of all the towns people that have used this dock in the past few weeks. I do believe this list covers the ones I am aware of. Good work, the King spares no mercy to those who fail to pay their taxes and try to escape the Kingdom!  I would hope not, damn those law breakers. You must find them so we can punish them and collect their overdue taxes. Such actions can not be allowed to go unpunished.  What should we do with the lot? Bag them and send them in chains to the King's Court, and seize their gold as well.
