The sound of organized cheers reached the ship that Walker was on first before the ship was close enough to lay down the brides made of wood. Every shout made the soldiers on Walker's ship return the cheers with glee. This was the celebration that they had successfully completed the river trading route. That they had made it to the real start of their journey.
The second ship drifted slowly closer and closer until the sound of rattling chains became loud enough for everyone to hear. The anchors had been dropped and the cheers ceased as both ships started to have their soldiers move together.
The wooden bridges had been made to link the ships safely once they were anchored. They would be the best way for them to trade the foods and other supplies they had before they started the main trip across the ocean. But even more, the bridges could be used when they were in the middle of the ocean.
