Make a concise location description of a nostalgic scene outside a coastal area port with a balustrade and a silver gate latch.

Latched to the aft balustrade is a small gate that allows for formal passage from ship to ship or shore via plank. Surfaces once painted a bright blue have cracked, dulled and worn away from the waves' constant assault, though a small area shaded by the tarnished silver gate latch on the forward balustrade retains a hint of former glory.
