- "The Stars are docking Princess Alice, that should be worth watching in this wind."
- — Zorran, High Winds
The Liner Dock is a large dock where cruise liners are brought to be moored. It is run by North West Pacific Lines. The S.S. Vienna, Princess Alice, and Duchess have all docked here, among others. It's located behind the port inlet which features the Coal Yard, Railhead, San Juan Bananas and others.
Bio[]
In Sunshine, the Star Fleet gained the contract to dock Duchess the famous liner. Later that day while the Stars are guiding her, the Z-Stacks play a trick. In an attempt to win the contract from the Stars, Zorran decides to ram into the back of Sunshine which sends the little tug flying into the Duchess' rudder. Zorran then hurries to "help" the Star Tugs finish the job. In High Tide, Zebedee and Zak pass through the dock to get to the Canal. Originally in Jinxed, the Star Fleet were to continue with the Duchess contract, Boomer's jinx proving troublesome during operations. In High Winds, the Stars are docking Princess Alice. She had a damaged rudder which meant she couldn't help and the strong winds proved too strong. Zebedee hurries to the scene and assists the tugs, much to Zorran's disgust.
Trivia[]
