Once inside, there is a Cylinder on the table.

Underport
Underport Cylinder - #1
Note: The Underport area is way more open than the previous ones, with a lot of alternate paths, shortcuts etc. Therefore, my order of finding them might be different from yours.

After entering the Underport, there will be a building on your left with a Phonograph inside.
In a drawer nearby you will find a Cylinder.

Moving forward, you will eventually find yourself at the 'Van Der Meer Shipping & Receiving Co.' building. Nearby, in an archway, you'll find your next Phonograph and a Cylinder next to it.

Underport Cylinder - #4
Go back to the 'Storage' and go through the other doorway which will lead you to a stairway. Once at Level 3, move forward, then you'll find a chest with a Heal Tonic, a Flashbomb and a Cylinder.

Tavern Revisit
Tavern Cylinder - #3

You can climb the roof multiple ways.

1. Using the Harpoon Gun to make ropes to climb

2. Using the Batbeast research passive trait (increased jump height) or Batbeast serum to climb up. I managed to climb with only passive by using the lamp post and the tavern sign.

After you managed to climb up, enter and turn right. You'll find a Cylinder in a cabinet.
Tavern Cylinder - #4
Go back to the basement and you'll find a Clyinder (Same place as Tavern Cylinder - #1).
