Eastwatch-by-the-Sea is the easternmost castle along the Wall, located on a grey, windswept shore by the Bay of Seals.[1]. Near Eastwatch live some fisherfolk and to the west lies Greenguard.[2] Some wildlings trade with the Night's Watch at Eastwatch.[3]

The commander of Eastwatch is Cotter Pyke, while its maester is Harmune. The Night's Watch keeps several galleys at Eastwatch, including larger vessels capable of crossing the Narrow Sea and lean fighting vessels.[4] The galleys patrol the Bay of Seals in part to catch smugglers who trade weapons to the wildlings.[5] Ships stationed at Eastwatch include the Talon, the Blackbird, and the Storm Crow.
