The Sargasso Sea Melee in Ancient Atlantic Drift
The article describes Sargasso Sea as a vast weed meadow formed from gulf stream flotsam. It details drifting wrecks and timber, derelict ships, and the difficulty of entering or crossing the sea. It notes dangers for ships, the lack of solid footing, and speculative expeditions to reach its center. It cites Chambers' Journal and a Dedham, Mass, anecdote from Youth's.
