Some how, I don't think Maryanne is either a boat or a woman, but the sea itself.

"kisses you till your lips bleed" - reference to the wind?

And she's a bitch because all those sailor's want to go back to their woman; but she wont let them.

"She won't take her dress off." She's just a tease; she promises that this is worth it but doesn't quite make it okay that they can't see their girlfriends.
