No - I think you are overlooking the fact that the starboard gunwale continues behind the black sail. If you can visualise this, then you can then visualise the normal pointed bows. Once this is done, the black 'verticals' are in fact the thwarts. However, I suggest that this is not one of AR's better illustrations.
As to Susan, she seems so vaguely drawn to me that she could be any age! If she is 'aged', then no doubt she has been worn down by a lifetime of 'unnatural motherliness', poor girl . . .
