Sulla base di un messaggio trovato in una bottiglia e parzialmente roso dall'acqua di mare, il Duncan, un magnifico yacht inglese, parte alla ricerca del capitano Grant naufragato. A bordo ci sono i due figli del scomparso, Mary e Robert. Tra i membri dell'equipaggio c'è anche Jacques Paganel, un geografo francese singolare e simpatico.

This rare specimen of eloquence terminated with the following sonorous phrases bubbling over with patriotism: "England has always marched at the head of nations" (for, the reader will observe, the nations always march at the head of each other), "by the intrepidity of her explorers in the line of geographical discovery." (General assent). "Dr. Samuel Ferguson, one of her most glorious sons, will not reflect discredit on his origin." ("No, indeed!" from all parts of the hall.)
