The Poseidon Adventure

A ‘project’ that roughly started in 2013. The title is lifted from the 1972 film but only acts to dramatise and to highlight the tendency towards the aquatic. I am also reminded of the futility demonstrated in the tale of Caligula’s war on Poseidon (Neptune) This Roman emperor had his soldiers march to the sea and ordered them to stab the water.
