Prologue

In the 19th century's gentle tide,

When maritime exploration was in its pride,

The oceans of the world so wide,

Held mysteries deep and secrets inside.

In these days of tales untold,

Legends virgin, fresh and bold,

Resided within the sea's cold fold,

Awaiting hands brave and old.

Superstitions held their reign,

In every heart, in every vein.

They shaped each journey, each campaign,

A mystic whisper on the main.

A deep deference imbued the air,

For Nature's secrets, none could bare,

Unfathomable mysteries everywhere,

Ingrained in minds with solemn care.
