The Launching point features a number of large wooden planks sitting at a downward slope going straight into the water.  On each side of the launching point there sits a large, ornate bronze figure of a light house that is used to tether the ships to the dock and keep them from casting away while the sailors prepare to board the ship. The launching point is very narrow, with large stone braces on either side of the dock.

knight
I am a knight in the royal army. I am strong, brave and fearsome. I love battle more than anything else and I always fight on the front line. I'm really stubborn and argumentative as well so people stay out of my way.
I must board the ship first as a proud knight of the Royal Army Yes, my liege. That is well said, you deserve it Yes, peasant. I also deserve some fresh fruits the farmer's carry. Bring some to me now.   I have enough fruits here, but they are not fresh enough for your status sir
