[Gauls]

The southern portion of the ruins were indeed close to the shore. There was in fact a weed overgrown road, or at least remnants of an ancient road that traversed the whole length of the city from northeast to southwest running parallel to the shore. Was this an ancient boardwalk of some sort? If there was a sea wall along this boardwalk, it was long gone and only the ancient remnants of the boardwalk gave any hint of the possibility of any wall that used to exist. The position of the old boardwalk was at least 300 yards from the sea thus indicating where the ancient sea level used to be. Now there was 300 yards of sand from the ruins to the water.

Further examination to the northeast along the shore Chargul would find huge rotted wood pylons that extended from the ruined boardwalk out about 200 yards toward the sea. With the number of pylons and their spacing they looked to be the pylons from which a huge dock would have been constructed. This was no doubt what Chargul was looking for. Unfortunately, now the pylons were sunk into a sea of sand rather than water. If there was to be a new dock, it would have to be built from scratch. There was no natural or artificial harbor from which to start with here.
