What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
John Chrysostom
"They made towards shore," having given the rudder-handles to the wind: for oftentimes they do it not in this way. They were borne along, having loosed the rigging, that is, the sails.
Theophylact of Ohrid
They loosened the ropes when day came; and by day the ship is also taken down, so that those on board would not perish from fear and so that they might see the fulfillment of the prophecy.
Western Saints
Bede
And hoisting the foresail, according to the direction of the breeze, they made for the shore. The foresail is a small sail contrived more for steering the ship than for speed.
Hippolytus of Rome
And she bears in her midst also the trophy (which is erected) over death; for she carries with her the cross of the Lord.
