"The Mighty Deep: And What We Know of It" by Agnes Giberne is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The book explores various aspects of the ocean, its depths, and the phenomena associated with it, providing insights into marine life, oceanography, and the historical significance of the sea to humanity. Giberne aims to present this vast topic in an accessible format for readers interested in the mysteries of the ocean. The opening of the book sets a reflective tone, addressing the historical relationship between humanity and the sea.
