Land's End Port is the largest district of Corktown, below the Porkery, by the sea. The smell is dreadful: seaweed, beer, alcohol and fish all mingle.

Its streets hold breweries and distilleries, warehouses for ship cargo, fishmongers, docks, a shipyard and the harbor office, along with many shops selling nautical, fishing and travel gear. The barrel-shaped buildings and gigantic still pipes make getting around difficult and unpredictable.

At the harbor-master's office, Rik Rinswith-Gutrotter collects taxes and manages ship arrivals and departures as best he can. The brewery of the venerable Qwak Rinswith-Gutrotter is a beer factory. Taverns are even more numerous here than anywhere else in the city.

Among its shops, The White Whale, run by Ahab the bear, sells nets and harpoons, and The Compass Rose, run by Charby the dolphin, sells maps and navigation instruments. Warehouse 13 stands on the docks, and famous ships anchor in the harbor: The Turtle of Jo the albatross, The Stormy of Cap'Orn the sea otter, and The Phantom of Dutch the one-eyed dog.
