In the year 1866, rumors of a devastating sea monster attacking ships in the Pacific Ocean have created apprehension and fear among sailors, disrupting shipping. The U.S. Government invites Aronnax onto an expedition to either prove or disprove the monster's existence. The search is uneventful and frustrating at first. Just after the captain cancels further searching, the "monster" is finally spotted. Trying to take it down with cannon fire, the ship is rammed, and Ned, Aronnax, and Conseil are thrown overboard. They find themselves abandoned as the badly disabled warship, and crew drift away. All hope seems lost. The three drift into a strange-looking metal vessel, and realize the "monster" is a man-made "submerging boat", that seems to have been deserted. |
