Due to size constraints imposed by the geography of the Bay of Cove and threats possible from enemy or pirate factions, it is hereby declared unlawful for any UNAUTHORISED galleon to enter the area delineated below.
Merchant ships may transfer their goods to smaller vessels before navigating into the bay itself, or may request authorisation to navigate their galleon into the delineated area from the Covian Council.
Any ship unlawfully present in the protected area will be addressed, and given a reasonable amount of time (at the present commanding guardsman's discretion) to remove their ship from the area. This will be followed by a warning shot, followed by full bombardment from the Covian fleet and coastal batteries.
This notice constitutes fair warning, as any merchant or sailor should familiarise themselves with the laws and customs of any port they sail to. The Baronship Council takes no responsibility for goods damaged or lost.
