[QUOTE="RichGreen, post: 4097397, member: 2039"] Thanks for this - you make some very good points! I must admit I hadn't thought about current at all! Can you help me by answering a few questions? Flotsam is located off the north bank of the Dolphin Strait (a bit like the Bosphorus) so the sea proper is to the south-west. At the north-east end of the strait is the Griffin Water (an inland sea) so I envisaged the water moving fairly slowly to the southwest. I'd imagine there would be a tide (like the Thames) too. - If this is the case, what's the best pattern for the boats to resist it? All the boats facing into the direction of the current? - Since the Old Docks don't see as much use, how about if Flotsam is built entirely between the piers shown on the map so it's more sheltered? These could be made longer if necessary. - The Old Docks have been superseded by the Royal Docks on the northern (Imperial Quarter) side of the city as the Basileus wanted to divert the wealthy trade ships to that side of the river. Could the neglect of the southern docks lead to silting up? Maybe there are one or two abandoned caravels or similar in the configuration? Thanks! Richard [/QUOTE]
