Swaying to and fro, near-white canvas sails flap noisily in the breeze, adding a calming distraction from the vessel's rushed crew members. Red pine planking, laden with puddles from a recent washing, stretches across the deck in eye-catching patterns of mixed horizontal and vertical arrangements. Thick braided ropes hang from brass hooks along the main mast which casts shadows across a wooden grate in the center of the main deck. Adjacent to a red pine gangplank, some stairs lead down to the lower level.

Rose-colored silks drape decoratively across red pine rafters that frame a wooden grate in the ceiling. Neatly arranged on a glass counter are velvet-lined boxes filled with a variety of wares, and a small brass tree displays some of the shop's more sophisticated offerings. Placed prominently on the wall between some stairs and a wooden door carved with sea creatures is a brass plaque.

In the Common language, it reads:
