Popis:	IN August 1972, on the Scripps Institution of Oceanography's expedition C′BOG I in the Central North Pacific, there was a rare combination of clear warm weather and calm seas which tempted the scientific personnel to spend their leisure time on the bow of the ship. From this vantage point it was obvious that the sea surface is littered with a startling array of man-made objects, even 600 miles from the nearest major civilization (Hawaii) and outside the major shipping lanes.
