The only point worth criticizing is the slightness of the connection between the topsides and the body of the boat.

He thought it was a sea-phrase for splicing a rope, just as he supposed "main-sheet" was the largest sail of a ship. We begin to understand what a long voyage our ship has come when we are told that "starboard" is steer-board, the side to which the steering-paddle was made fast before the modern rudder was invented in the fourteenth century.
