Wilhelm's Wharf, also know as Captain Paglia Dockside Bar & Grill, is a small wharf with a shack situated on the banks of the Potomac River in the Capital Wasteland, southeast from the Super-Duper Mart. It is inhabited only by Grandma Sparkle.

Background

Wilhelm's Wharf was a small settlement located near the Potomac River 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

The shack hugs the bulge of Potomac River with access to the bitumen road to the southwest. Four tables and eight chairs remain intact in the yard. Inside the shack itself is a cabinet with a random assortment of loot.

An outhouse is at the end of brick pavement along the Potomac; 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 first aid boxes and ammunition boxes can be found in the water nearby.

Notes

  • Entering 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.

Appearances

Wilhelm's Wharf appears only in Fallout 3.
