[edit]

As the article itself points out, the title of the first half is misleading to modern hearers, who don't realize that a calm sea is dangerous. Wouldn't "Becalmed at Sea" be a clearer English translation?

"Rime of the Ancient Mariner" gives a more vivid description of what it means to be becalmed. 50.180.19.238 (talk) 20:50, 26 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
