On This Day in Weird, August 10...
1817: Solomon Allen II reports from Massachusetts: "I
have seen a strange marine animal, that I believe to be a serpent, in the
harbour in Gloucester. I should judge him to be between eighty and ninety feet
in length, and about the size of a half barrel…I was about 150 yards from
him…His head formed something like the head of a rattlesnake, but nearly as
large as the head of a horse. When he moved on the surface of the water, his
motion was slow, at times playing about in circles, and sometimes moving nearly
straight forward. When he disappeared, he sunk apparently down."
