The picture describes a number of boatmen were trying to pilot the ship to cross the bridge.
However, the challenge is that the mast is higher than the bridge. In order to avoid hitting the bridge, the boatmen had to lower the mast in advance, so that the boat could cross the bridge smoothly.
In the picture, these boatmen didn’t lower the mast in time, which almost caused a disaster. To solve this problem, they had to try every means to slow down the boat so they have enough time to lower the mast.
