|Value 7-8 = A triple-hulled Khaganian vessel is being transferred to a specialised cradle designed to hold its outriggers stable. The crew watch in consternation as the Mourn's dockhands haul on rope and winch, drawing the trimaran creakily across empty air.
 
 
|Value 12-17 = A quartet of raucous monks spill out of a rowboat, swaying perilously. They pry the vessel away from the winches. One of them bears the little boat on his back as they stagger towards the Arrant Limpet. That's one way of avoiding docking fees.

|Value 27 = A red-hulled pirate cutter […] in a cradle close to the Arrant Limpet. Passers-by stop to mutter and stare. A gaggle of Mourn-born urchins dare each other to touch the prow, and retreat giggling […] The vessel of some pirate-king? Or just a fancy paint job?
+
|Value 56 = A Blemmigan crests the landing stage, having apparently climbed up the Mourn all the way from zee level. Its fronds waft; its beak trills. It hides beneath a shipping crate, and is lost from view.
|Value 30 = A gaggle of Chelonite Monster-Hunters argue with the harbourmaster. Behind them, the winches strain to lift the cadaver of something colossal […] from the zee. […] Where opinions differ is on whether the foetid beast deserves its own spot in the dock-cradles.
+
|Value 62 = A rope […] snaps with a crack, and the air is filled with a cacophony of […] straining metal. For a moment it looks as though the steamer in this cradle will fall […] but an intricate series of fall-backs and guard-ropes catch it before its tumble can truly begin.
|Value 41 = A Polythremean pirate steamer makes demands to an overseer, filling the air with the piercing complaint of an upset steam-engine. A trio of Clay pirates stand guard impassively. Living ships have particular requirements, it seems.

|Value 62-67 = A rope […] snaps with a crack, and the air is filled with a cacophony of […] straining metal. For a moment it looks as though the steamer in this cradle will fall […] but an intricate series of fall-backs and guard-ropes catch it before its tumble can truly begin.
 
|Value 74 = A zubmarine rocks in its cradle as some great activity shudders within. The flywheel spins. There is a creak like a dying breath, and the airlock edges open. The smell from within is truly foul – how long has it been since this crew last surfaced?
 
|Value 82-86 = All […] the Admiralty's colours have been scrubbed clean […], but you recognise a child of Wolfstack when you see one. Zailors bustle […] The crew wear a motley assortment of piratical garments, all of which seem to be brand-new. There is no sign of a captain.
 
 
|Value 93 = Zailors haul a raft […] struggling to fit its ramshackle shape within any of the cradles. A monkey swings out from the makeshift vessel, looking around with fierce and intelligent eyes before swinging […] up the stalagmite. A visitor from the Empire of Hands?
