==General==
The second location on the Railway is {{IL|Jericho Locks}}. One of the main activities here is going on gondol trips and exploring the many destinations around Jericho. You will be introduced to this in {{IL|Call of the Wanderer}}, where you may take a trip to the Sere Palace.

==Esteem of the Guild==
In order to visit the destinations in the river network, you must first get acquainted with the gondol guild. Two points of {{IL|Esteem of the Guild}} costs roughly 5 {{E}} in items, or {{IL|Favours: The Docks|5 x}}. {{IL|Crooked-Cross}}es have a separate option that costs only 10 {{E}} for a single point of Esteem. It can be convenient to give a value to each point at 12.5 {{E}}. 

In addition to these sources, there is a one-off source in the {{IL|Call of the Wanderer}} storyline that provides 5 Esteem. This is one-off and not profitable (you are better off having the Gondolier on your side, for various benefits) so it will not be mentioned in the table.

==Locations==
When travelling to a destination, you cannot choose exactly where to end up unless you're a {{IL|A Member of the Gondoliers}} - Doctore of the Guild. However, as you discover locations and report them to [[The Doleful Poleman]], you can avoid going to one of those specific places. This requires using the options from [[Charter a barge to new horizons]]. Travelling to locations in the lower river costs 5 Esteem, while locations in the upper river require 10 Esteem. Once you've become a Doctore of the Guild, the costs are reduced to 3 and 6 respectively, and you will also be able to decide exactly where you want to go.

In order to reach Doctore of the Guild, give reports to [[The Doleful Poleman]], to show that you have visited each location at least once, including the Sere Palace (10 Esteem), accessible through {{IL|Call of the Wanderer}} only. This will cost at least 50 Esteem, though in practice the randomness of selecting  destinations means it averages 60 Esteem and possibly more if you're unlucky.

Unless you're a Doctore of the Guild, canal cruising will never be profitable. However, you may gain resources that are otherwise hard to access, such as {{IL|Mirrorcatch Box|Appearance=Mirrorcatch Boxes}} and {{IL|Skull in Coral|Appearance=Skulls in Coral}}.

==Strategy==
The items you spend for Esteem are valued about the same at the Bazaar, so it's just a matter of what you happen to have on hand. Docks Favours are fairly straightforward to gain, though perhaps better spent calling them in at the station ([[A Silver-Eyed Zailor]]).

An accessible alternative is {{IL|Collated Research}}, which can be gained by upconverting {{IL|Memory of Distant Shores}}. If you have {{IL|Sworn Statement}}s from [[Meet with a Rookie Constable]], you may simply exchange the Memories and avoid upconverting. Another option is to buy {{IL|Map Scrap}} and {{IL|Inkling of Identity}} in bulk from [[The Rat Market (Guide)|The Rat Market]], and upconvert twice to {{IL|Partial Map}} and {{IL|An Identity Uncovered!}}.

{{IL|Night on the Town}} has few other repeatable uses, if you happen to have one. Calling in Society Favours at the station ([[An Ambivalent Scion]]) is a reliable and profitable source.

It's a smart investment to get Doctore of the Guild if you plan to use the options regularly, because of the 40% discount in cost. Getting up to a Crimson Violist, one level below Doctore, is also a requirement for building [[Put up a statue honouring a Legendary Zee-Captain, that is, Yourself|a particular statue of yourself at Moulin]].

Discovering locations also unlocks several profitable options. Most notably, discovering the Fiddler's Scarlet unlocks an option for [[Smuggle in industrial materials|smuggling Bessemer Steel]], while {{IL|Licentiate}}s who have visited the poisoned waters of the Sere Palace can [['The one who has traced their hand through the poisoned waters'|take a particular job]] in [[Professional Activities (Guide)]] Aditionally, knowledge of the Eversmoulder and a {{IL|Hellish Hymn}} unlocks an option on the card [[Halfway to Hell]], giving 10 {{IL|Moves in the Great Game}} on a difficult Watchful check.

The theoretical maximum output of of lower river locations is 5 EPA (3.5 actions per cashout, at a net of 17.5{{e}}), while the upper river is 6 EPA (5 actions per cashout, at a riser of 30{{e}}).
