The story begins when a mysterious sea monster, theorized by some to
be a giant narwhal, is sighted by ships of several nations; an ocean
liner is also damaged by the creature. The United States government
assembles an expedition to track down and destroy the menace.
Professor Pierre Aronnax is a noted French marine biologist and
narrator of the story; as he happens to be in America at the time and
is a recognized expert in his field, he is issued a last-minute
invitation to join the expedition, and he accepts. Canadian master
harpoonist Ned Land and Aronnax's faithful assistant Conseil are also
brought along. The expedition sets sail and after much fruitless
searching, the monster is found. The ship charges into battle. During
the fight, the ship's steering is damaged, and the three protagonists
are thrown overboard. They find themselves stranded on the hide of the
creature, only to discover to their surprise that it is a large metal
construct. They are quickly captured and brought inside the vessel,
where they meet its enigmatic creator and commander, Captain Nemo. It
is here the adventure truly begins!
