Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
by Jules Verne’s, 1870 Chapter 12 - The Sargasso Sea, P.276: "Above us, huddled among the brown weeds, there floated objects originating from all over: tree trunks ripped from the Rocky Mountains or the Andes and sent floating down the Amazon or the Mississippi, numerous pieces of wreckage, remnants of keels or undersides, bulwarks staved in and so weighed down with seashells and barnacles, they couldn't rise to the surface of the ocean."
