The
albatross is the sea version of its counterpart on land, the eagle. Royalties is
the most fitting description of these birds, whether they are soaring in flight
or perched on tall trees surveying their domain. They convey power and even a
tinge of fear on the one hand, only to be balanced by elegance and even charm
on the other.
A
mascot to seafarers, their presence is associated with luck and good riddance.
As quoted in an old sea log ' ... instead of the cross, the neck of an
albatross my neck will be hung ....'
