Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea

During the year 1866, ships of various nationalities sighted a mysterious sea monster that, later suggested, could be a gigantic narwhal. The United States government organizes an expedition in New York City to find and destroy the monster. Professor Pierre Aronnax, a French marine biologist and storyteller, is in town at the time and receives a last-minute invitation to join the expedition; he he he accepts. Canadian whaler and harpooner Ned Land and Aronnax's faithful servant Conseil are also among the participants. The expedition departs Brooklyn aboard the United States Navy frigate Abraham Lincoln, then travels south around Cape Horn to the Pacific Ocean. After a five-month search that ended in Japan, the frigate locates and attacks the monster, which damages the ship's rudder. Aronnax and Land are thrown into the sea, and Conseil jumps into the water after them. They survive by climbing the "monster", which, they are surprised to find, is a futuristic submarine. They wait on the deck of the ship until morning, when they are captured, brought inside, and presented to the mysterious builder and commander of the submarine, Captain Nemo.
