Mmmmmm. Sea walls and docks and raising town baseplates are all good uses
for decently proportioned clones (ie MB). They're cheap, essentially
unseen, and available in adequate colours for these purposes in truckload
quantities.
Port Block's quays and docks are so arranged, and lift the land area 3
blocks above the water. The only land that slopes to the sea is in the
slipway (and its actually baseplates sitting on an wedge-shaped MB frame).
