It is much harder to get ontop of that dock now. The cave is gone - from the outside only a blank hillside is visible. If you get onto it from empty Kingshead, there is a functioning dinghy. If you get onto it from regular Kingshead, there is no dinghy (but you can open map and teleport to Kingshead using the totem that only works when you are on Kingshead and can see enemies.) I just had a pirate on both secret docks, in the last 15 minutes.
There obviously was a second story quest intended, rescuing someone from the Kingshead jail, sneaking out through the sewer, out that cave and launching only a light sloop from that hidden dock (only to be confronted by the man-o-war flag.) What other surprises that had intended originally are not as obvious. But leaving the cave there was instrumental in teaching people the mechanics of the PANDA engine, so it is curious that it was removed.
