I am playing a self-imposed "single-city challenge" game (i.e. a game where I restrict myself to having only one city). Naturally, I built the city beside a sea to be able access to the rest of the world by ship. Unfortunately, I built my city in what turned out to be a landlocked sea (a large lake). As a result, the ships I currently have are not able to go to the open seas.
I am now considering bribing the ships (trireme, caravel, or transport) of other players to gain access to the open seas, but how can I bribe the ships of other players?

From Freeciv 2.6.0 onwards, it is possible to bribe ships.
Below is an example of bribing a transport. Note that the transport must be empty, otherwise the bribe will fail.
It's also possible to bribe other sea units (ironclads, battleships, submarines, etc.) as long as they are not loaded:
Side note: It's also possible to bribe aircraft.
