Answer:
The sentence explains a time of struggling when we get nothing at the end and are brought back to our past or near past. Like a boat which is continuously rowed but is found at the same place at the end of the day.
Explanation:
This refers to the dualities of Gatsby and America. Nick is saying he will get into Gatsby's boat, the one that only sailed backwards on the sea of history--into the past to recapture his childhood dreams.

But everything seemed useless as the struggle took them to their past to a place from where they had begun.
