Wilhelm's Wharf, also known as Captain Paglia Dockside Bar & Grill, is a small wharf with a shack situated on the banks of the Potomac in the Capital Wasteland, southeast from the Super-Duper Mart. Its only inhabitant is Grandma Sparkle. The docks are also the headquarters of Split Jack's gang who are attacking the water caravans along the roads near Rivet City with Broken Steel.
Background
Wilhelm's Wharf was a small settlement located near the Potomac in the Washington, D.C. area. The old woman Grandma Sparkle resides in the area and acts as a local trader. Her two sons hunt for mirelurk meat along the river.
Layout
Four tables and eight chairs are in the yard. Inside the shack itself is a cabinet with a random assortment of loot. An outhouse is at the end of a brick pavement along the river and behind the outhouse lies a drainage culvert with a damaged sewer grate that leads to the Hubris Comics utility tunnels. A sunken boat with some aid items and ammunition can be found in the water nearby.

Notes
- Entering Grandma Sparkle's house is considered trespassing, and taking anything from the house will result in negative Karma.
- There are a few sunken boats just off the docks. Dogmeat can be ordered to retrieve the items located there.
- In Broken Steel, if the Lone Wanderer does not aid Split Jack, or kill him and his bandits, they will kill Grandma Sparkle.
- Inside of the house is a bed that is not owned, but because being inside the house is seen as trespassing, it is impossible to sleep in it.
- When Grandma Sparkles greets the Lone Wanderer, she refers to the dock as "Will'im's Wharf." [1]
