03. NewCastle Harbor

Much of Newcastle’s industry occurs along its harbor, from small-time import-export to huge freight ventures. For many transplants to Newcastle, especially among non-native English speakers, the harbor is where they first find work in the city. The city’s automotive manufacturing plant sends many of its cars out by ship, as well, and its dockside warehouses are the largest in Newcastle. The whole of the harbor has a reputation as a place where people don’t see anything they’re not supposed to and crossing the strike line can cost a man his life.

Background:

Unsurprisingly, Newcastle Harbor has long been a bastion for organized crime in town, due to the connections to the shipping trade and union labor for the freight companies. Storytellers may introduce any particular flavor of organized crime they wish for the harbor’s illegal element — whatever best suits the story.
