The albatross is often considered a symbol of good luck at sea. In maritime folklore, it is believed that the presence of an albatross can bring favorable winds and safe passage for sailors. This belief is famously captured in Samuel Taylor Coleridge's poem "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," where the bird represents a good omen. Consequently, many sailors regard the sighting of an albatross as a positive sign during their journeys.
