Rivet City bow

About
Although technically a part of Rivet City, the Rivet City bow consists of the broken-off front third of the aircraft carrier. Pinkerton has set up his lab within the bow part of the carrier after being 'removed' from the Rivet City council in a coup.

Access to the bow is gained via an underwater door (yellow X on the image to the right). Some distance must be swam, and there is a hollow section half way along in which a breath can be taken. The entrance is guarded by Mirelurks, the exact amount/type depending on your level.

Another entry is south west of Rivet City across a bridge. The door is locked "Very Hard" (requiring a Lockpick skill 100) on both sides. Alternatively there is a power switch to the right of the door, when used this unlocks the door as well, but this can only be accessed from the inside of the bow. If you enter this way, watch out for the Frag Mine that will trigger immediately when you enter.

Notable Loot **Game May Freeze Upon Entry**
Note: All of these have to be stolen, which leads to Karma loss and might upset Pinkerton.
