Set against the backdrop of Long Island waters, the book likely explores themes of bravery and teamwork as the characters confront challenges at sea. At the start of the narrative, the “Rocket” encounters a thick fog that creates an atmosphere of tension and uncertainty, leading to potential danger with other vessels nearby.
