The Upper Wharf connected to various other locations such as Jet-Postal Substation II, the Fighting McDonagh's Tavern tavern, or the Wharfmaster's Office. The latter served as Chief of Security Sullivan's headquarters when Andrew Ryan brought him and Ryan Security in to put an end to the Frank Fontaine's illicit smuggling ring. Their investigation seriously impacted work on the wharf and around the port, but in the end proved effective in officially linking Fontaine with the operation. However, all work on the wharf would come to an end when civil war broke out and everyday life in the city came to a screeching halt.
