Generate a short description of a depressing scene outside a boat ship with a shattered bulwark and an oaken hatchway.

The deck slants to starboard, making footing awkward. The mainmast, shattered just above the deckline, angles downward through a splintered bulwark toward the reef below. Rigging, useless now, lies coiled and scattered around the deck. The oaken hatchway into the forecastle has been torn partially from its hinges.
