What are they doing at the bow of the Szent Istvan ?
How should I know, don't ask daft questions.
Thought you might know!!

After giving the matter some serious thought here's one or two answers to your question.
They could be the anchor party making ready.
OR they could be having a game of conkers.
OR it could be a group of cadets undergoing training.
OR it could be a game of hopscotch.
OR they could be discussing the relative merits of various composers or poets.
OR the derrick could be a big fishing rod and they're fishing for their supper.
OR a load of sailors telling mucky jokes (highly unlikely)
Hope this helps.
