What makes this part so significant is Scrooge conversation with his nephew. "Merry Christmas! What right have you to be merry? What reason have you to be merry? You're poor enough."

So, after the Cratchits, the spirit shows him even more examples of people being merry and enjoying Christmas without lots of money or even a cosy home.

I would have loved to see that part in more of the adaptions.

I love the contrast of the darkest parts of the ocean still having people, and those people still feeling joyful at the company - even if it's just two guys in a hut, they'll still feel an extra little bit of happiness to be with someone on Christmas. It's a beautiful image
