Harvey and Mr. Cheyne each throw a wreath into the water. Mr. Cheyne's wreath lands next to Harvey's. However, when shown again, Mr. Cheyne's wreath sits partially atop of Harvey's wreath as they float away on the outgoing tide.

When planning the Atlantic crossing, Mr. Cheyne is told that the trip would happen on the Queen Anne. A lifeboat on the ship is shown with a name that is partially obscured, but appears to say QUEEN MARY. "QUEEN" is shown in its entirety, and the letters "AR" are shown in the second word.
Experienced seaman Disko does not have the We're Here or her dories using lamps to alert other vessels of their presence in the dense fog.
Harvey talks to Disko about the next fishing trip and Disko says that it will be the "winter season". Earlier, they had mentioned coming home around August 1st and having 6 weeks on land before going fishing again, so it can be concluded that they go fishing again at around the end of September at the latest. Knowing that they fish for no more than three months, it would make the next fishing trip the "fall season" and not the winter season.
