Fort Worthy

You saw a flicker of lightning in the distance, then light gleamed and lit up a cliff face. The sky quaked that night and the wind howled. Rain pelted down on your face and eyes as you tried to peer towards it. Again, lightning seemed to strike the same spot and you saw the gleam again. This, this must be Fort Worthy you thought as the air rumbled again. The mood shifted amongst the crew as they gladly started to align the ship with the port as waves crashed over the deck.
The ship slowly made its way in and you saw the lights of the fort to the right. They looked imposing, over the settlement whilst the lighthouse on the left guided you in. Lights from the houses appeared to shine as you got closer. You safely docked and the rain relentlessly poured down. Sailors hurriedly got their belongings and headed off toward the inn which looks to be a sizeable building nearby.
