As the White Gem sailed into the open sea and joined the escorting frigates, Perfikot could vaguely sense the ship starting to sway slightly, though not noticeably.
This was easy to understand, as the waves of the open sea cannot be compared to the calm waters within a harbor.
Moreover, their White Gem was not an enormous vessel; encountering sea waves and experiencing slight swaying was quite normal.
In the age of sails, Perfikot might have had to experience using a hammock; otherwise, the way of riding the waves would have been thrilling enough, like the pirate ship ride at an amusement park.
During the sail era, if one truly encountered rough seas on a voyage, the swaying was even more exaggerated than the pirate ship at an amusement park.
Fortunately, it was the steam era now, and the seaworthiness of vessels had greatly improved, especially for passenger ships specially designed for comfort and stability in sailing.
