An Adventure-Friendly World, which, no matter how Technology Marches On, remains firmly rooted in the cultural and political sensibilities of the age of Wooden Ships and Iron Men. Many works of modern fantasy or speculative fiction are set in a mostly watery world, or a mostly watery part of a world where the rest isn't of much matter, with distant islands connected by trade routes, ships sailing back and forth, different types of City on the Water, and mighty colonial nations vying for rulership of the oceans and seas. Regardless of type, these sort of settings are also an Ocean of Adventure rather more often than not. Also often called Pirate Punk, as the setting naturally lends itself (but is by no means obliged) to have many Pirates and buccaneers, whether they're wielding cutlasses on sailing ships or the aquatic equivalent of Humongous Mecha. May contain Organic Technology, and have a large focus on what happens under the waves, where there might be an Underwater City, as well as over. Fantastic elements based on old sailors' superstitions (mermaids, abandoned derelicts that often aren't so abandoned after all, giant sea monsters) also make a frequent appearance. Groups that are Born Under the Sail tend to be common, as is the occasional Moby Schtick. This may also be a type of After the End Flooded Future World setting, if the writers are trying to teach An Aesop about global warming. Or they just thought it would be cool to show a world where our mostly land-based culture and technology ends up being adapted for an existence on the ocean. For a similar setting that trades the water for the skies, see The Sky Is an Ocean, which will likely feature Sky Pirates. And since Space Is an Ocean, you might have Space Pirates. Compare and Contrast its exact opposite Desert Punk. Not to be confused with seapunk. |

The Pendragon Adventure: The second novel, The Lost City of Faar, takes place on the territory of Cloral, which is covered entirely by water until the mountain of Faar is raised at the end. Cloral has generally advanced technology, including water guns that can blast through walls, plastic made from processed water, and water-based propulsion systems, with specialized floating cities called "habitats" housing residents. | |

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea involves the Cool Boat and advanced submarine Seaview roaming the oceans of the free world fighting dastardly communist plots, alien invasion attempts, supernatural phenomena, mad scientists, technology gone haywire, unscrupulous people deciding to exploit the Phlebotinum du Jour located at the bottom of the ocean without caring about the apocalyptic collateral damage that they may create and many monsters, both ocean-born and in the occasional uncharted island. | |

Railsea is this trope and Desert Punk having collided hard and fused together. The sea has been replaced by a wasteland covered in railway line; landmasses stick out of it as islands, complete with coasts; and trains have captains (and some are powered by sails). The train in this case is a moler rather than a whaler, with the captain chasing a legendary monster as a substitute for a certain giant white whale; other substitute sea and air monsters threaten trains; trains have crew un their upper decks like ships, and, yes, there be pirates. Then again, apart from a certain fanciful Victorian postcard artwork, an actual ship usually doesn't have to worry about being wrecked by a break of gauge... | |

Destroyermen is set in the Pacific Ocean of an alternate Earth where that pesky asteroid never wiped out the dinosaurs. Since the main characters are the crew of a WWII era destroyer that ran afoul of a time-space rift it also has elements of Diesel Punk. Throughout the series, we see many different types of ships, from junk-like fishing boats armed with ballistae to carrier-sized wooden Homes (several of which later undergo refits to become carriers), from East Indiaman-derived frigates and steam/sail hybrids to World War I and World War II-era ships (including a submarine). This series has as much Schizo Tech as it can fit, short of putting Frickin' Laser Beams or missiles on wooden ships. Book 7 adds Grik-built ironclads, including Azuma-class cruisers (based on the design of the French-build Japanese ironclad Kotetsu) and Amagi-class battleships (large four-stacked versions of the CSS Virginia). |

Aquapunk is what happens when Mayincatec mermaids commit the ultimate blasphemy and invent immortality; an undersea magic-punk dystopia where the rich live forever in stone bodies (with built-in jump jets and uzis) while the poor are forced into indentured servitude or slaughtered like animals. The series then deconstructs and reconstructs the Aztec myths with proactive gods who seek to restore the balance but are sometimes as abusive as the corporations, due to them being Mirroring Factions. | |

Tactical Roar: The titular Perpetual Storm (a super-hurricane that affects the entire Pan-Pacific territory, and has done so for fifty years by the time the show starts) makes aerial transportation impossible on that area, bringing about a resurrection of the naval age with modern and futuristic ships (the main characters are part of a private security company that mans an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer). | |

Stand Still, Stay Silent: The Known World has taken this direction due to the specificities of both the countries of which it's composed and those of its Zombie Apocalypse: Raising the Steaks is in place, but only concerns mammals. This makes travel by boat relatively safe compared to travel by land, while air travel was foregone entirely. The biggest patch of Plague Zombie free land is Iceland, Denmark is now a single small island, the surviving Norwegians live on the country's coasts and Finland's survivors are mostly found in the Saimaa lake system. |

Waterworld is the aesop version, created when runaway global warming floods the entire planet save for the tip of Mount Everest. Humans mostly inhabit "atolls", ramshackle floating villages built out of whatever junk and flotsam could be scavenged from the sea, but there are also Drifters who spend their entire lives sailing nomadically between villages on one-person boats, aquatic mutants with gills behind their ears, and the Smokers, feared pirates with access to the only remaining motor craft. It's also mentioned that things like food plants and soil have become rare and valuable luxuries. | |

Exalted: Owing to the fact that the Elemental Pole of Water is located there, this tends to be the theme of any campaign set in the West. Common hazards include cannibalistic demon pirates, water and air elementals, ornery storm deities, aquatic variants of The Fair Folk, Magitek Lost Technology battleships (some of which may be sentient), gigantic sharks, crazed Wyld mutants, various tribes of aquatic Beastmen and the Lunars who rule them, malevolent empires of the dead... in fact, according to the Sidereals splatbook, the Convention of Water is the single most overworked group of Sidereals in existence. Considering that the job of the Sidereals is to keep Creation from going to pieces, this should tell you a lot about the West. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: In the module Queen of the Demonweb Pits, one of the alternate worlds accessible from Lolth's Web is "the Great Ocean", where the world's human inhabitants "sail the ocean in great catamarans to carry the trade of their vast mercantile empire from island city to island city." The 3.5 sourcebooks Stormwrack is a supplement to help DMs create their own Ocean Punk setting more easily. It also expands upon the rules related to ocean travel. Ravenloft: One of the domains, Saragoss, is an Ocean Punk Crapsack World setting in which stranded vessels' crews fight over dwindling resources on a drifting mat of seaweed. |

From the Depths, a block-based building vehicular combat simulator, originally squarely in the Ocean Punk territory with Wooden Ships and Iron Men, set on a world with wildly unpredictable weather and little land. Updates and scope changes have increased the breadth of it, leading to sail-powered blackpowder-toting brigantines fighting alongside composite-clad particle beam cannon nuclear submarines with Zeppelins from Another World providing anti-missile screens and advanced targeting data. | |

Dishonored is essentially a combination of this and Victorian Diesel Punk. While the usual pirates, marines and ghost ships don't appear, the more time-accurate whalers and their prey, strangely magical whales do, alongside a humongous ocean with little but a few islands where the Empire of the Isles (Gristol, Serkonos, etc.) lies. So, while the setting is ocean-punk-ish, you never visit the ocean directly, though you do wander by the seaside. | |

Tranquilium starts out overwhelmingly maritime, with the human population being concentrated on islands of various sizes. At the end, it becomes an extreme example of this trope as most of the world's known landmasses are submerged and the population moved to huge arks that travel in search for new lands. | |

One Piece: The world has very little in terms of land mass, being made of mostly giant oceans, one giant continent called the Red Line running around it like a ring (which is barely ever visited, as most of the plot takes place in the perpendicular ring of sea called the Grand Line) and many many islands. As such, most of the story is set very close to water, with the protagonists being pirates (the nice kind) and the antagonists being mostly pirates (the other kind), bounty hunters and the Marines. On top of that, Transponder Snails take the roles of telephones and cameras, seashells called Dials act as weapons, and it has heavily stylized architectures and a mythos that oozes old-timey pirate lore. | |

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, and its sequel Phantom Hourglass, mix up the usual Zelda formula by changing its setting to an oceanic world. Notably, the Great Sea of the former game is an After the End world, being what remains after the ancient kingdom of Hyrule, as seen in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, was flooded by the gods in order to protect it from Ganondorf when the Hero of Time did not reappear to save it. The islands of the sea are actually the mountaintops of the ancient kingdom. | |

Skies of Arcadia is Pirate Punk and Sky Pirates with more emphasis on the former (at first). Characters travel between floating islands in flying 18th-century pirate ships (which later get upgraded to more modern-looking battleships). You play as a small band of pirates trying to take down the evil armada. | |

SeaQuest DSV involves the titular super-submarine, created by the Fictional United Nations "United Earth Oceans" (or UEO) to police the many underwater habitats of the world and protect it from the myriad bad things that happen, including (in its final season) a despot trying to Take Over the World. | |

The Pirate's Fate is a fantasy example, set in a mostly bright and sunny Mediterranean setting mostly at sea, but it ticks all the appropriate "punk" boxes. From the surprisingly dark story to the truly vile antagonists and the focus on reactions to an adventure that costs dearly, it doesn't skimp on the attitude. | |

The Pirates of Dark Water combines Sword and Sandals, Magitek, Organic Technology, and Wooden Ships and Iron Men, with this. This early 90s cartoon series was an epic seafaring adventure starring a Rag Tag Bunch Of Misfits on an oceanic alien planet called Mer, where ships are powered by sail, and sea serpents are an every day thing. | |

Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet is set in the distant future, where the human race has fled the earth to escape from a new ice age and is now locked in a battle with the superpowered space squids known as Hideauze. Part of it anyway, and they only get screen time at the beginning of the first episode. The other part somehow sat out the ice age on earth, which has turned into a giant ocean with absolutely not a single piece of land above water, and has developed a live and let live relationship with the resident superpowered ocean squids known as Whale Squids. The Earth humans survive by pillaging sunken ships and submerged ruins and connecting dozens to hundreds of ships to enormous fleets such as the eponymous Gargantia. While the space humans have incredibly powerful futuristic spaceships, cannons and multiple types of powerful Humongous Mecha, the weapons of the Earth humans are WWII-era guns and battleships as well as the Yunboroids, far less futuristic mechas, although they are mostly used for salvaging, transport and maintenance. Oh, and there are pirates and a "boat partly submerged by the weight of a mecha" episode because there are no beaches anymore. | |

All pretty par for the course for Rifts. The game comes back to the sea with Rifts Lemuria, with Biomantic armor made of wood, coral, barnacles and blood (among other things); giant manta rays; merpeople; giant junk-collecting hermit crabs; sea serpent riders; stone aircraft; and Giant Enemy Vampire Crab-people literally from Davey Jones' Locker. | |

Daphne in the Brilliant Blue is set hundreds of years after the planet was flooded by global warming, and the only remnants of humanity are the descendants of several underwater cities that resurfaced and colonized the remaining landmasses. Siberia is now a tropical vacation paradise, virtually all transportation is submersible or seafaring to some degree, and all of the Action Girl heroines frequently have to strip down to improbably skimpy swimwear when going into battle. | |
