The crew of the Ghost are seal hunters, so there are several scenes of seals getting shot and butchered.
Women are physically assaulted by men on two occasions, though in both cases, someone intervenes.
A young man falls down the stairs to the upper deck and seriously injures his knee. He cries out in pain and is seen limping for some time afterward.
A man sharpens his knife, with the intent to intimidate another man.
A man is slashed in the arm by another man with a knife.
A gunfight erupts when a rival ship arrives to try to take over a pod of seals being hunted. Many people and seals are shot and killed, though mostly seen from a distance. One man is seen up close getting hit in the arm.
A man is hung upside down by his feet; blood is dripping from his head. He is later cut down and strikes his head hard on the edge of a hatch. Upon struggling to his feet, he is found to be blind as a result of a stroke. He is taken below and beaten by another man.
A man intervenes to assist a woman being assaulted, and her assailant pushes him away so hard that he topples over the ship's rail into the water.
