About this City Journal

Aulton Map.jpg

The City of Aulton started as a harbour town on the Quonock River. The harbour grew and now the city expands and keeps changing.

According to folklore, the city's motto, "Never Finished", was coined after the fire of 1767 when most of Auld Town (what is today the Old Harbour) was destroyed. When merchants arriving by boat saw the destruction, they said the town was finished. The mayor responded by writing "Never Finished" on the façade of the town hall which had survived the blaze.
Today, citizens of Aulton take the motto as a confirmation of the city's propensity for constant redeveloping and rebuilding.

The idea to put an NPP on an island somehow...

Three League Island is the location of two nuclear power plants: The older reactor to the West and the newer one with four cooling towers to the East. Two bridges, one for trains, one for cars connect to the mainland which has a secured area with offices, support buildings and a small harbour. The power connection to the South is via high pylons and to the North via undersea cable. Overview Old Reactor New Reactor Cooling Towers Undersea Cable Bridges Mainland Facilities Details
