There are three words there, which are either not used in the NT or used with an unfamiliar sense.
1) ἅλς means "the sea", rather than "salt" as it does in the New Testament.
2) παίω, (παϝίω, cf. Lat. pavio), strike, smite (the 5 NT uses are in this meaning); ram into (strike with the whole body(weight) directly, rather with the body weight behind the hand, etc.).
Here is a picture of a dolphin playfully buffeting a canoe:
3) γομφώματα < γομφόω, "I am fastening with bolts or nails" (especially used of boat-building).
Here is a picture of a wooden boat as it was being constructed using traditional skills and methods.
Here are some modern "age of steel" rivets (γόμφοι σιδηροῖ)
Here is a picture of the hull of a modern ship using rivets:
A possible effect of the pressure of a blow to the hull, by which ἐλύθη τὰ γομφώματα (ἐλύθησαν οἱ γόμφοι).
Another video based on a different passage:
Mt.4:8 wrote:παραλαμβάνει αὐτὸν ὁ διάβολος εἰς ὄρος ὑψηλὸν λίαν
