'Fishing Boats Entering Calais Harbor,' Turner

This art and music simulate the ocean so well, you can smell the salt water, and want to tie yourself to the mast.

Turner, actually a controversial painter--check out 'The Slave Ship.' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Slave_Ship_%28painting%29

The music may make you a little seasick, just like the painting by Turner.
