Albatros ont été décrits comme le plus légendaire de tous les oiseaux. Un albatros est un emblème central à La Rime du vieux marin de Samuel Taylor Coleridge, un albatros en captivité est également une métaphore de la poète maudit dans un poème de Charles Baudelaire. C'est à partir du poème de Coleridge que l'utilisation d'albatros comme une métaphore est tirée, quelqu'un avec un fardeau ou un obstacle, dit-on un albatros autour du cou, la peine infligée dans le poème pour le navigateur qui a tué l'albatros. En partie à cause du poème, il ya un mythe largement répandu que (tous) les marins crois qu'il désastreuses de tirer ou de nuire à un albatros, en vérité, les marins régulièrement tués pour les manger, par exemple, tel que rapporté par James Cook en 1772. D'autre part, il a été rapporté que les marins capturés les oiseaux, mais soi-disant laisser à nouveau libre, la raison possible est que les albatros ont été souvent considérés comme les âmes des marins perdus, de sorte que les tuer aurait été considéré comme portant malheur.
