""The World of Waters: Or A Peaceful Progress Over The Unpathed Sea"" is a book written by Fanny Osborne and published in 1852. The book is a travelogue that describes the author's journey across the ocean on a ship, exploring different parts of the world. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a specific region, including the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, and the Indian Ocean. The author vividly describes the natural beauty of the sea, the various marine creatures that she encounters, and the different cultures and customs of the people she meets along the way. She also provides insights into the history and geography of the regions she visits, and reflects on the impact of colonialism and slavery on the people and the environment.The book is written in a poetic and lyrical style, with rich and evocative language that captures the awe-inspiring beauty of the sea and the places the author visits.
