How to get to Soltheim on Skyrim?

I have seen many explinations saying "go to a city and finish dragons rising" problem is that I had already completed dragons rising before I downloaded the DLC. How do I fix this. (There is no boat at the Windhelm docks)
Best Answer
It wasn't clear whether you have been attacked by cultists yet - if not just wait until you are attacked by cultists - in the next town you enter. That attack (which is easily defeated) will result in you coming in possesion of a note - and the existence of the ship at windhelm.
