Personification
The ship has human-like characteristics. The sentence is talking as if the ship has the brains to decide it can sigh and hesitate.
You can remember by seeing that the word "person" is in "personification".
This may mean that the person in the future will not be able to understand or comprehend what a person is saying to them, if they do not listen to them now.......hopefully this helps
