Human: Produce a detailed written description of a patriotic scene outside a town dock with watchmen, wharfage, and a river road. Assistant: 
The river road passes among a jumble of small private warehouses and wharfage east of the town's center. Numerous small offices and even a few well-kept homes line the northern side of the road. Watchmen abound here, each in the livery of some trading house or shipping company. They keep a cool eye on loiterers and those who seem to have no noticeable business.
