The group crossed the heavy wooden door restricting access to the naval fort and were soon escorted inside.
The inside was quite spare, with only a few large wooden houses distributed across the entire space acting as lodging for the five hundred or so workers plus soldiers there, a few large wooden sheds that were used as carpentry workshops, and a small dock leading out to the sea that was used to build the vessels.

"After suffering the recent blockade, I felt an urgent need to build a navy as soon as possible. Or risk having all my trade plundered."
"And so I had this abandoned hamlet be turned into a sort of shipbuilding yard."
"It's not a real shipyard yet as it's very rudimentary. But for now, it is only being used built to new ship concepts."
"And we have built three such boats to showcase our new designs."
"And I hope to get the two esteemed lords' opinion on them."
