        The correct method has everyone pulling in the same direction like in this schema:

        If they all pull, then the oars move through the water to the left, thereby propelling the ship to the right.

        In contrast, in the post, everyone pulling exerts a force that is counter clockwise around the vertical axis of the ship.
