man of war - quotes and descriptions to inspire creative writing

It was a great Man of War, a giant jelly fish, or perhaps one that was similar yet different. It was hard to tell in the dark, in the ocean, in that storm. Yet I can tell you what I saw, young sailor of the deep, I saw a miracle. For the tail of that deadly jelly became as a rope and that rope became a net and that net caught the evil monster that lurked. I realise that it will always be a tall tale, one we tell on nights with beer and much laughter, yet I tell you, it happened.
