albatross usage

Question

Would this be an incorrect usage of the word albatross

She swam in her endless sea of albatross

Answer 1

Albatross is a noun because it’s a bird. “Drowning in them would indicate there is several of them and the plural of the word is albatross or albatrosses. It could be used this way however the word typically has another meaning in relation to weight.

Answer 2

Most common use of the word albatross is that "albatross around you neck" weighing you down

endless sea of albatross doesn't fit that narrative, although the meaning may come across to many

literally, it's a white ocean bird with long wings. so a sea of them conjures up an image of a huge flock of birds,

either way though, maybe the plural would fit better.
