Setting of the Old Man and the Sea

The are only two settings in this story. The old man's home was a small cabin with hardly anything in it. It was newspaper on the floor to keep him warm at night, but that is pretty much all he had money for. He was a simple man and did not require much. The next and most obvious setting is the sea. The sea is vast and wavy. The old man gets lost at one point in the book and is stuck out in the middld of the sea without any food besides bait or water besides the small bottle he took with him. The sea is filled with large fish and sharks. The water is salt water. This book does not really have a time period that I could put on it because it was reallyd detailed enough to make a conclusion for that.
