Gregg Investigation
You visit the harbor master and he claims no lost ships have been reported in
the last few weeks. He points out that people don't usually report in if they
are lost at sea.

Fishing vessels that want priority on the docks easiest to unload do often make
arrangements with the dockmaster. But all such vessels have all been accounted for.

You know the dockmaster must keep records of trade vessels and their manifests,
so their imports can be properly taxed. The dockmaster or one of his agents
inspects every trade vessel and their manifest.
The dockmaster leaves you with his ledgers for the last month. It is all public
information after all.

You notice looking through the records that one trade vessel that usually comes
in to port with a full haul every month had no goods to claim the last time it
docked. Gellan Primewater himself was apparantly on the boat as he signed the
inspection paperwork himself. The dockmaster didn't think to ask what happened
with the lost goods.

Investigation into Eduard Primwater himself; he sometimes comes down to the docks
to look over some imported items. He sticks out like a sore thumb when he visits
and is always going on about the proper treatment of his cargo. Supposedly he
is only interested in the occasional import of antique furniture and exotic
relics. Eduard has a few contacts overseas and they often aquire these items
and he always uses his grandfather's trading vessels to deliver them to Saltmarsh.
Otherwise he seems to keep to himself. He prefers to live in the Primewater Estate
a few hours ride west instead of Gellan's mansion in town but people have
reported seeing him a lot more often the last few weeks.
