Editing Pirates of the Baltic Sea (section)

====Lübeck====

With around 220 000 inhabitants, Lübeck is the second-largest city on the German Baltic coast. The city lies on the mouth of the River Trave, which flows into the Bay of Lübeck. The Elbe–Lübeck Canal, which connects the Baltic to the Elbe River at Lauenburg, also crosses the city. The city is part of the Hamburg Metropolitan Region, and is the southwesternmost city on the Baltic, as well as the closest point of access to the Baltic from Hamburg. The port of Lübeck is the second-largest German Baltic port after the port of Rostock.

Lübeck’s importance to the Buccaneers lies in the fact that any Buccaneer crew that needs for some reason to gain access to Hamburg or to Elbe and the German inland will need to pass through the city. And just like with the other German ports, this has its risks.
