* In ''Series/TheLordOfTheRingsTheRingsOfPower'', beside water motifs, Galadriel is associated with boats/ships too, symbolizing her struggle to distinguish right from wrong in her quest for revenge. The pilot begins with a young Galadriel building up a paper boat which gets destroyed by other children. Finrod invites her to listen to an anecdote about why a ship can sail and a rock cannot, to which Galadriel asks which light is the sail supposed to follow if the water can reflect the light just as strong, foreshadowing meeting a disguised Sauron in human form on the wreck of a ship in the future. As an adult, she is is send to Valinor, but refuses to go by jumping off the {{Swan Boat|s}} and trying to swim back to Middle-earth, leading her to Sauron. Later, she ends up in Numenor, known for its maritime power. At the end of Season One, after blowing off Sauron's disguise, he traps her in a memory of the ship wreck they met, and tries to recruit her for his cause. Galadriel refuses and is nearly killed by Sauron.
