“The Children of Captain Grant” is an adventure novel by French writer Jules Verne. Plot: On July 26, 1864, the sailors of the steam yacht “Duncan” of Lord Edward Glenarvan in the waters of Scotland caught a hammerhead fish, inside which they found a bottle with a letter in three languages: English, German and French. Although the water had greatly damaged the text, it was possible to make out that the English ship Britannia, which had disappeared two years earlier, was wrecked, after which three people remained alive: Captain Grant and two sailors, and that they were located at 37°11′ south latitude.
