It means, the ship is coming into harbor. The day of docking has finally arrived! which can mean a lot to sailing men who have been out at sea for weeks, months, years. This specific line refers to the ruckus on shore, the loved ones so long watching the horizon as the ship comes back home. Can't you just hear the people on the shores exulting, the noise of their happiness and cries of greeting? And maybe the church bells are ringing there on land, or at the very least, the boat's bells. Maybe people are holding hand bells and ringing out their noise, as the sound will travel across that distance greater. Contrast that line, with whoever is telling this tale: the first mate, now captain? He's bringing home the dead body of his leader, there on deck. The happiness of the shores is contrasted with the deadness of our leader. Oh sadness. Oh captain, my captain! A good man has given of himself to bring this ship into port today, and returns home ... dead. Hope that helps, always wanted to be an English teacher myself.
