meaning
Hello,
I managed to get a place to stand along
the railing. I saw the rippling of the still water as the ferry
moved. It was moving smoothly on the water. There were rows
of coconut trees on the banks of the river. As we moved
swiftly, I could see people, fishing, washing, bathing along
the banks and working.
Here I am a bit confued about the presence of "working".
Does it mean people are working along the river bank?
Thanks.

Yes, that's how I read it. Either next to, or near enough the river to be seen by the writer.
