Oceans Once Unexplored

The Atlantic was an ocean once unexplored, even the Romans with their naval might, took no interest in conquering beyond; so it remained an incognito in their minds: perhaps its wrathful waves kept them away: they made very frightening sounds. Columbus, the fearless and fair explorer, made frequent voyages... he never encountered and fought a whale: it didn't impose a threat; despite his first voyage was an horrific one, he didn't end his quest to discover a vast and rich continent inhabited by the peaceful Indians. If whales were scarce in this immense deep, they were more abundant off Nantacket, as the Pacific Ocean swarmed with these monstrous mammals it didn't scare Moby Dick by searching for the biggest white whale that was able to jar his ship and make it sink; and he could only salvage: a pound of bread, fish, water besides and his treasure chest.
