seanery

What you're promised on an ocean cruise, but generally it's only what you'd expect to see if you venture out on da "wavy water --- just endless expanses of brine and lots of herring gulls!

In Lewis Carrol's hilarious poem, "The Hunting of the Snark", da navigationally-clueless captain of da hunting-party used a "complete and absolute blank" map of "da sea", which was "without da least vestige of land". Just plain old "seanery" to be had out in da middle of da Atlantic, he probably figured, so why use a map dat shows anything different?
