Good to know
- It is part of the Boston QZ and is labeled Area 5 on military maps.
- Smugglers bring shipments here from as far as Canada: clothes, toilet paper, frozen meat and liquor.
- Robert bribes soldiers who catch his people trading.
- The last of four smugglers you kill on the way to the wharf drops the Warehouse key, which you need to continue.
- The Shipping manifest and Docks note in The Slums section relate to the smuggling here.
Why you come here
Robert sold guns that were owed to Joel and Tess. The pair sneak into the wharf, kill his guards and corner him in an alley.
Robert's endSpoilerShow
Under questioning Robert admits he passed the guns to the Fireflies. Joel and Tess kill him and leave before soldiers arrive.
- Docks NoteThe Docks Note is a gripe from one of Robert's smugglers, lying in the big warehouse at Mission Hill Pier where a fishing boat hangs over the loading bay. Look on the right side, against the railing behind a blue trash bin.
- Shipping ManifestThe Shipping Manifest is a sailor's note at the Mission Hill Pier docks. After you vault the wall down among Robert's patrolling men, go right to the railing above the water; it lies by a fishing net behind a blue trash bin.
- Warehouse KeyThe Warehouse Key unlocks the back door of the S&B Co. repair shop on the way to the docks. After Joel and Tess drop through a hole in a fence toward the wharf, four of Robert's smugglers appear; whoever you take down last drops it.
