Write a detailed description of a foreboding scene outside a coastal area dock with an awning and ropes.
assistant
Erected to provide some relief from the elements, the now threadbare awning has sufficiently shielded this section of the polished deck to provide a glimpse of the ship's past grandeur. Dark spots above, deposits made in passing by sea gulls circling for a meal, give this area a dappled look, especially when the wind blows and the awning strains against it. Fastened with ropes to tall poles, like sewing needles with large eyes, the entire construction creaks and moans as if ready to collapse.
