You step onto the planked wharf at Stokes Hill and the harbour opens ahead—salt on the air, a seagull cutting the skyline, the city’s low profile giving way to wide water. The cruise eases out, and the shoreline begins to read like a map of conflict and continuity: warehouses, coastal batteries and a harbour that felt the shock of the 1942 air raids.
