The Eastern Wake was once the proudly owned skimmer-ship of the Korra family before they were forced from Port Korra (and subsequently "Beniport"). As Benivalle usurped the family's position, he took control of their assets, including what is rumored to be fastest ship on the open waters. The Wake is not a traditional sailboat. It is designed only to hold a small crew and passengers, virtually no cargo, which allows it to essentially fly over the surface of the water.
