    The Sea

    • Always an enemy

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    This answer suggests that the sea is always in control of the figurehead. A figurehead is a carved wooden decoration found on the prow of a ship, typically representing a person or animal. The sea, being a powerful force, has the ability to influence and control the movement of the ship, including the figurehead.
