Please generate a depressing scene outside a boat ship with a pole, paddle, and grummet.

Beneath the balustrade a row of grummets lie empty, their limp forms awaiting the oak oars stacked on the rack to starboard. Missing its business end, a length of splintered pole hangs useless from one grummet, the paddle portion lost to the churning sea. Three small grates in the planking make each footstep echo in this section of deck.
