What are some allusions to the Rime of the Ancient Mariner in Frankenstein?

The bit in the arctic at the beginning, that's where a lot of the rime of the ancyent marinere is set. there's a sea voyage of discovery, an abomination against God (killing an albatross and creating a monster), and both Frankenstien and the mariner are punished by being forced to walk the earth, the mariner must tell his story, and Frankenstien follows his creature.
