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.

I am a farmer.  My family and I live right outside of the kingdom.  We will soon be harvesting.  After harvest, my sons and I will take our goods to the town to sell.
Hello there, sailor. How fares the sea? Full of sea monsters!  Why, I just returned from an exploration voyage for the King, and what did I find?  Krakens!  Krakens as far as the eye could see!  I lost most of my crew. Have you ever thought of taking up safer work? I will admit, while fending off Krakens with only a bill-hook, that I should think of another career path, and possibly cash out my pension. I will be harvesting soon and I wonder if the harvest will be enough. What is it you harvest? We grow wheat for the king. Ah, a mighty important profession - without hardworking farmers like you, the kingdom would starve. Thank you for your kind words. It's hard labor. No doubt!  Have you always been a farmer? I've been a farmer since I was my youngest son's age. And how old is he?
