Chotho, Lachesis and Atropos?

I read this in an old ship design book.

The first wave heels the ship ~Clotho who spins the thread of your
life
Before you can recover the second wave knocks you on your beam ends
~Lachesis who measures the length of your life
And finaly, while knocked down the third wave causes you to capsize ~
Atropos who cuts off your thread of life
