Didn't the Closing just affect the _surface_? The triolini certainly had no problems with the Closing. Perhaps there was a great deal of Dwarfish submarining going on. Of course, surfacing in the open ocean would have been a problem, so perhaps only short routes could be used (e.g. amongst the Jrusteli archipelago).
Also, there's an awful song in all of this, definitely sung by dwarves: "We all live in a Dwarfish submarine, Dwarfish submarine, Dwarfish submarine." Especially if they were stranded in it since the Closing.
