LA MAR MARINERA

Spanish to English translations [PRO]
Art/Literary - Ships, Sailing, Maritime
Spanish term or phrase: LA MAR MARINERA
This is for an aquarium and is a title - HISTORIAS DE LA MAR MARINERA.
My guess is that it is a sort of set phrase like the "salty sea" or something. "Marine sea" seems like a tautology"
Does anyone know please?
Thanks!

high seas


Explanation:
I believe that the term in English is "high seas". especially since it is in a collocation with stories/tales. It would thus be stories or tales of the high seas.

Sailors' yarns/Sea stories/Sailing stories


Explanation:
I think these would be typical ways to describe stories about sailors and the sea.
Or "Stories of sailing the seas".
