When Columbus sailed the Sargaso Sea
His sailors did shudder and cry:
"Our ship will sink in this horrible sea.
We'll never get home-we'll die !"
Some people say it's a dark,dangerous trap for sailing ship.But it isn't.Some say it's a giant floating island.But it's not.Others call it an ocean jungle.Wrong.It's the Sargaso Sea - a place in the North Atlantic Ocean where the water is so clam that seaweed grows there.The top of the still water is so crowded with tangled seaweed that captains once feared their ships would get caught in it and be pulled down.
