Written by the renowned researcher and naval officer R. T. Gould, this work examines numerous historical accounts and eyewitness testimonies of large, unidentified marine creatures. Gould approaches the subject with a balanced blend of scientific curiosity and critical scrutiny, analyzing logs from naval vessels, merchant ships, and private reports to determine if the existence of such creatures can be substantiated by evidence.The book delves into famous encounters, such as the sighting by HMS Daedalus in 1848, and provides a comparative study of various reported sightings across different centuries. Gould categorizes the evidence, discusses potential misidentifications, and explores the biological possibilities of unknown aquatic species. By prioritizing primary sources and official documentation, the author moves the discussion of the sea serpent away from mere folklore and into the realm of serious inquiry.
