| Summary |
"Kapteeni Grantin lapset" by Jules Verne is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows Lord Edward Glenarvan, his wife Lady Helena, and a group of companions who embark on a perilous sea voyage aboard the yacht Duncan. Their mission is to rescue Captain Grant, who is missing after his ship, the Britannia, sank near the coast of Patagonia, and they are driven by a sense of adventure and a quest for justice to aid the captain’s family. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the Duncan as it sails through the Northern Channel. The passengers, including Lord Glenarvan and Lady Helena, witness the excitement when a shark, a hammerhead, is spotted following their vessel. The crew engages in the thrilling endeavor of catching the shark, which leads to the surprising discovery of a bottle within the shark's stomach. Inside the bottle, they find water-damaged documents that suggest Captain Grant is alive but in great peril. As they piece together the clues from the damaged papers, the urgency of their quest to save Grant and his crew solidifies, setting the stage for their adventurous journey.
