When Michelangelo was old he made a statue of Torrigiano and then intentionally broke the nose off with his hammer to get even …. I’m sure you’ve seen it.
Per Wikipedia: The Sargasso Sea (/sɑːrˈɡæsoʊ/) is a region of the Atlantic Ocean bounded by four currents forming an ocean gyre.1 Unlike all other regions called seas, it has no land boundaries.234 It is distinguished from other parts of the Atlantic Ocean by its characteristic brown Sargassum seaweed and often calm blue water.1
The sea is bounded on the west by the Gulf Stream, on the north by the North Atlantic Current, on the east by the Canary Current, and on the south by the North Atlantic Equatorial Current, a clockwise-circulating system of ocean currents termed the North Atlantic Gyre. It lies between 70° and 40° W, and 20° to 35° N, and is approximately 1,100 km wide by 3,200 km long (700 by 2,000 miles).56 Bermuda is near the western fringes of the sea.7
All of the currents deposit the marine plants and refuse which they are carrying into this sea, yet the ocean water in the Sargasso Sea is distinctive for its deep blue color and exceptional clarity, with underwater visibility of up to 61 m (200 ft).8 It is also a body of water that has captured the public imagination, and so is seen in a wide variety of literary and artistic works and in popular culture.9

Can you imagine a robot which transforms into a yellow sports car named “Dumbledore” and a headmaster of a wizarding school named “Bumblebee”?

So, what makes it a sea if there’s no coastline? Why isn’t it just part of the ocean?

I may not be a smart man, but I know the Atlantic Ocean when I see it on a map.

Astonishing! And it turns out “potter” is an old English word for someone who makes…‘pottery’.

Sargasso Sea, just one of many things I wasn’t taught in school. Another example: the Tyrrhenian Sea.

I’ve never understood it. The Sargasso Sea is the jackpot of the world to harvest seaweed, yet no one seems to.
