Compose a first person description of a gloomy scene outside a boat ship with bilges, rats, chains, and gunwales.

At any moment, you are convinced your feet are going to break right through the rotting bilges of this craft and plunge you into the chill river below. A few broken oarlocks line the sagging gunwales and a stump mast that once stood much higher holds a dispirited square sail. Ropes and chains for tying off the cargo lie in untidy heaps all about. The stink of mildew and wood rot is everywhere. Even the rats, so common hereabouts, appear too fastidious for this floating junk pile.
