The quarantine shore
Nine entries along the harbour’s south shore, and three of them are the quarantine station the harbour once was, the barracks, the cemetery, and Ripapa Island out in the water. Long gaps between stops; this one is a drive or a ride as much as a walk.
The walk, as a line
Straight between pins, the streets run longer. Every numbered pin opens that place’s own record.
