Southwest Harbor

Southwest Harbor is a location on the Island in 2287.

Background
Before the war, Southwest Harbor was a town on Mount Desert Island inhabited by the Island's locals. At some point, the inhabitants apparently fled, likely from the encroaching Fog, leaving the town to be taken over by Trappers. It is also possible that some of the local harbormen had stayed in Southwest Harbor when the fog rolled in and become Trappers themselves as they were driven to madness by the fog.

Layout
This location is the remains of an old pre-War town. It is mostly walled off, but has entrances from the dock and the front gates. Most of the buildings are burned out and have trapper architecture with loot and scrap scattered throughout.

A pre-War gift shop holds a couple trappers and some loot on the southeast side, next to one of the breaks in the wall. The diner on the south side hosts some scrap, an old but functional jukebox, a low level turret and a chemistry station in the back. Next to the docks is a dockhouse with a power armor station, an armor workbench and tools scattered throughout.

On the southwest coast of the harbor is a wrecked boat containing the storage drives needed to complete the quest, Data Recovery. Looking across the horizon from this point, one can see fuel trailing from the boat, set ablaze, with the Vim! Pop factory looming behind the fog. Aboard the boat is a sea captain's hat, an open shipping container and two steamer trunks; one that can only be opened with Victoria's key.

Notable loot

 * Sea captain's hat - On the wrecked boat.
 * Victoria's key - After a while when the Sole Survivor returns to Acadia, they can talk to Cog and he will mention that Jule has been telling him about her strange dreams. He then asks the Sole Survivor to follow him to her and after some conversation tells them about her dream. Jule will then give the Survivor the key, which opens Victoria's trunk back at the shipwreck.
 * Victoria's note - Inside Victoria's trunk.
 * Three storage drives - On the wrecked boat.

Behind the scenes
The location is based on the real-world town of Southwest Harbor, which is located near where it is in the game. Southwest Harbor in the game instead lies on the site of the real-world village of Northeast Harbor, while the actual Southwest Harbor is located across the bay to the southwest, approximately at the location of the Vim! Pop factory.
