As described by Salarino, Antonio's ships that are sailing back to their home are huge in size, and all other smaller ships sailing near them look so small and trivial. Even during a storm, smaller ships struggle to continue sailing and come under danger, but Antonio's ships remain unaffected.
Salarino compares Antonio's ships sailing on the waves with the great lords and wealthy citizens, who look down on lesser men as they walk along the street. He says that compared to smaller ships, Antonio's ships move swiftly on the sea with their canvas sails and look like grand spectacles or pageants of the sea.
At Venice, Antonio's ships are reported lost at sea, so the merchant cannot repay the bond. Shylock has become more determined to exact revenge from Christians because his daughter Jessica eloped with the Christian Lorenzo and converted.
