Hello. You did not show the stage directions to which the question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.
Stage directions are instructions from the author of a play about how the actors should act, move and what emotion or idea they must convey through the performance.

It is a great Dead Place—greater than any Dead Place we know. Everywhere in it there are god-roads, though most are cracked and broken. Everywhere there are the ruins of the high towers of the gods.

By focusing on the characters instead of the ship's sinking, Walter Lord emphasizes that the people on board were real. He draws the readers into their feelings and relationships. He also shows how they respond to ideas of the time and the events of the sinking. Overall, this paints a very realistic picture of history.
