In anticipation of the sudden influx of passengers, makeshift benches have been hastily constructed from kegs, driftwood, and nets stretched tight between boards, then have been cleverly placed so that they are as out of the way as possible. Some coiled ropes and other rigging lie scattered around, pushed out of the way so no one will trip over them.
