| - Frank Fontaine established Fontaine Fisheries as a front for smuggling contraband from the surface into Rapture. Due to the secrecy of the smuggling ring, or because of Fontaine's power and influence, the Wharfmaster's forces either didn't know about or were unable to control the transportation of the smuggled goods. As Andrew Ryan became more and more desperate to stop Fontaine's smuggling operations, he ordered Chief of Security Sullivan to personally step in to find legal proof of the smuggling activities. The Wharfmaster's Office was taken over by Ryan Security as their base of operations. From the Office, the constables began arresting, interviewing, and interrogating suspected smugglers, seizing contraband, and gathering evidence. Due to the smugglers' extreme fear of Fontaine, and murder of potential witnesses, it was difficult to build a case against him. Several Security Devices were set up in the area for extra defense. At some point before Jack's arrival to Rapture, the Wharfmaster closed the entire Upper Wharf, locking off access to McDonagh's Tavern, the Jet Postal station, and even the entrance to the Office itself.
