Far Harbor (location)

Far Harbor is a harbor town in the Fallout 4 add-on Far Harbor. It is home to the harbormen and women, a settlement well defended against The Island's wild creatures and one of the last not consumed by the Fog.

Background
It is implied by many residents that the town of Far Harbor had been a prominent settlement for many, many years, with the Fog only recently having become a problem. Most of the people live at the docks and are protected by the Fishermen, likely a militia force, with the primary defensive capabilities being hooks, harpoon guns or lever-action rifles. The settlement was originally inhabited by, and technically is "owned" by The Mariner. At first, there were not many people to speak of on the docks. But, as the Fog became more dangerous, it forced many people off their own lands, and into the town of Far Harbor, increasing the population, and the dissent among the residents. Far Harbor in 2287 is led by Captain Avery, a stubborn, strong-willed woman.

Layout
The docks are the most prominent portion of the town, because they are the town. The marketplace consists of three merchants, Allen Lee, the gunsmith; Brooks, the general merchant who is secretly a synth; and Teddy Wright, the physician. The Last Plank is at the very end of the town, and serves as its only bar. Just outside the Last Plank is what appears to be a very large boiling pot containing a very dead Mirelurk. This is presumably the settlement's main food source. The town is enclosed by The Hull, a wall maintained by The Mariner. (The Hull can be upgraded through the optional missions for The Mariner by providing her with power tools, securing the hull of the MS Azalea, and obtaining three mirelurk carapaces.) The town's water supply comes from a trio of water purifiers in a pond south of the town.

Behind the scenes
Far Harbor is based on the town of Bar Harbor, Maine on Mount Desert Island, the largest island off the coast of Maine.

Additionally, Far Harbor appears to have gotten its name due to the fact that, upon closer examination, the billboard saying "Welcome to Far Harbor" actually should have read "Welcome to Bar Harbor", but part of the billboard is worn away, making the "B" appear as an "F" instead, similar to Novac or Arefu. Pre-war signs around the town also refer to it as "Bar Harbor."
