The last working ferry between Solace and Bay City — underfunded, oversubscribed, and the only crossing that doesn't cost a toll or a very long walk. Runs on a schedule nobody quite trusts and a captain who's kept the boat afloat through two budget crises on nothing but spite. Half the city's cross-harbor rumors start belowdecks, right here.
Appearance: A weathered dock building of salt-bleached wood and peeling paint, a single covered gangway leading to a boat that's seen better decades, benches worn smooth by waiting. Harbor spray hangs faint in the air even when the water's calm.
