Are there answer choices? If not, Just reading over this passage for the first time, It seems the narrator could be describing something very majestic, like a statue built in the ocean, of a god or something. it seems as though the narrator personifies this statue as though the statue itself is a character and has feelings, maybe even something to hide. Hope this helps!
