I didn't know that part about Wall Sina...

There might be no practical significance to it but it's also interesting to note that the water around the feet of the titan in this chapter's first panels seems to be steaming.

Also, I think that the guy tried to jump onto the boat not because the boat offered any special protection by being in water but because in the world within the walls it appears that those boats, connected using those conveyer belt looking things to those wires, represent the only form of efficient mass transit in the world inside the walls and so because horses are prohibitively expensive for most people of average means, the only alternative to being on one of those boats was to run all the way to Wall Rose which is why people would risk their lives to get on one.
