Sea otters almost completely died out in the 1800s and early 1900s due to the popularity of their fur. Many poachers killed the otters to sell the fur for expensive coats and other garments.
During the early 1800s, American ships and sailors faced being thrown overboard, having to walk the plank, and suffering lack of food or fresh water.
The Caribbean Sea, along with parts of the Pacific Ocean, was targeted in the late 1800s and early 1900s to help out with US naval bases and foreign economic markets. This is evidenced by the U.S. involvement in the Spanish-American War in 1898, which resulted in U.S. control over Cuba and Puerto Rico in the Caribbean, and the Philippines and Guam in the Pacific.
Readers of the 1800s interested in the foreign and exotic caused them to like sea stories and other travel tales by writers such as Herman Melville.
