Just have to pass this on. This is a great reference as well as an intertaining read.
The Great Sea-Serpent
This is a reprint of A. C. Oudemans' The Great Sea-Serpent, which was originally published by Luzac & Co., London, in 1892. This comprehensive work
includes discussion of over 160 sightings of sea-serpents. Hoaxes and misidentifications are also discussed, as are the characteristics and possible
taxonomy of this mystery animal. Oudemans was one of the first individuals to suggest that the sea-serpent may be an unidentified mammal.
Prints 577 pages. Illustrations.
