      Give a waterfront feature a job

      Choose a wharf, anchorage, slip, pier or landing. Note who uses it, which landmark identifies it and how travelers get there from town. Put the chart name beside the crew’s nickname and decide when a character hears each one.

      Put it in a scene

      Draw the route to the feature and place one obstacle along it. A cart at the ramp, a gate at the quay or a full row of berths can give a character a reason to ask for the place by name.
