Dock

The dock allows you to see which ships are in port at the island you are on. Not all ships are shown. Ships that belong to your crew are always shown. Other ships are shown only if a pirate has been aboard them in the past thirty minutes. (Note: a server reboot wipes clean the list of recently boarded ships.)

Ships belonging to other crews are colored based on their relationship to your flag. Allies' ship names are blue. Ships you hold the deed to are outlined slightly thicker in blue. Red names indicate ships belonging to flags with which you're at war or declaring war against.

If you are on an island with functional buildings, you may also use the dock to take a ferry to any other island with functional buildings in the same archipelago.

Some pirates like to docktart, hanging around the docks and chatting with other pirates.
