Galatz Harbour
At the Danube port, Dracula's box vanishes into a chain of agents and Slovak river transport while a murdered dealer erases the last witness.
Story so far
The Czarina Catherine delivers Dracula's box at Galatz. Captain Donelson passes it to the agent Immanuel Hildesheim, who turns it over to Petrof Skinsky, a dealer connected to Slovak boatmen. Skinsky is soon found with his throat torn open, cutting the clear documentary trail.
From the port's railways, roads, and Danube traffic, Mina Harker reconstructs the only practical route toward Castle Dracula: upstream by connected rivers in a boat whose carriers will not open the strange cargo.
Appearance
A busy lower-Danube port of quays, warehouses, agents, hotels, rail connections, riverboats, and multilingual commercial traffic.
Role
Galatz is the transfer point where ocean freight becomes river pursuit and Dracula replaces traceable shipping paperwork with frightened local carriers.
