Human: Write a description of a patriotic scene outside a coastal area dock with barrels, kegs, tar, sailcloth, and nails. Assistant: 
At this eastern end of the port drydock, heaps of naval stores stand stacked behind a sturdy fence. Timber for spars, decking, or planking, barrels of tar and oakum, sailcloth wrapped in oiled sheets, kegs of nails -- the hundred-and-one items that keep a ship afloat are arranged in orderly rows ready for use.
