Perhaps the most striking drama was not the conflict of man v. the elements, which characterized the 19th century, but the contrast between that traditional conflict and the mid-20th century ease with which the sonar-watching, fathometer-reading, Coke-drinking crew of the Nautilus defied the elements.
