Callville Bay is a location in the Mojave Wasteland in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background[]

Once home to Captain Dean Boat Rentals, Callville Bay acted as a boat launch site, offering Poseidon U-235 outboard motors. Following the nuclear apocalypse, by 2281, it became a derelict no-man's land overrun by cazadores nesting inside the remains of the corrugated metal warehouse.[Non-game 1]

Layout[]

Situated northeast of the scavenger platform and south of the Bitter Springs recreation area, Callville Bay is a boating harbor serving Lake Mead. It consists of a ruined boathouse and a store named Captain Dean Boat Rentals. The store contains a few bottle caps, a locked safe and a first aid box guarded by giant rats. In the boathouse, the Courier will find miscellaneous supplies guarded by a group of cazadores, which have established a nest there.

The boat launch with an old tow winch jutting out into Lake Mead is chosen as the spot where Loyal's detonator can be used to activate the deployable ballast and raise the crashed B-29, the Boomers' so-famed "Lady in the Water," from the depths of Lake Mead. At that time, Loyal planned on sending unmanned robots to break the plane down into pieces and move it up from Callville Bay to Nellis, avoiding attracting the attention of the NCR.[1]

Callville Bay appears only in Fallout: New Vegas.

Behind the scenes[]

  • The in-game Callville Bay is based on the real-world location of Callville Bay, along Lake Mead's north shore in Clark County, Nevada. The abandoned town of Callville, Nevada was submerged by the damming of Hoover Dam, the bay subsequently retaining its name.
  • The international maritime signal flags on the Callville Bay sign translate to the letters RJTD. The real-world sign's signal flags equate to CBRM, reflecting its name, Callville Bay Resort and Marina.[Non-game 2]
  • In Captain Dean Boat Rentals, on the shelf directly in front upon entering is a toy car that merely says "Take." However, it cannot be taken, and picking it up causes a message to say "Good! Now push (grab button) again to let go of the skull." This is a glitch, replicating the assumed action available during the section of Ain't That a Kick in the Head where one allocates skill points and traits; doing additional actions, including jumping, as well as picking up (lifting and moving) the brahmin skull on the fireplace mantle on any movable object, will gain additional selection options during the tutorial, as long as the player character does so before taking a seat to initiate the selection dialogue with the doctor). The toy car glitch is the same encouragement dialogue received for moving the skull on Doc Mitchell's fireplace.

    Once a small port and boat launch, Callville Bay is a derelict no-man's land overrun by Cazadores from their nest inside the corrugated warehouse that has fallen in on itself. There's a (currently inactive) harpoon winch on the launch itself. Lake Mead is great sources of drinking water, so sip yourself healthy, and don't forget to visit Captain Dean's Boat Rentals. Deal with the rodent infestation, before rummaging through the store shelves for the following:
