Coleridge was inspired.

In the book, the captain of the ship shoots a black albatross as happens in Coleridge's poem.

Answer 3

The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner was written by Samuel Taylor Coleridge in the Eighteenth Century. It is the story of a ghost ship which became so, following the killing of an Albatross which followed the ship with good luck and favourable weather. Since killing this bird, the sailors dropped dead one by one and from then onwards it was navigated by a ghastly crew. But when one day, after these horrible events, the only man alive on the ship was able to pray, the sin was forgiven by the mighty elements, there was redemption and the ship was directed to the shore and safety by divine hands. This classic poem was meant to be written as a fine Horror poem in which the poet succeeded brilliantly.
