On This Day in Weird, March 22...
1876: Missionary Matthew Strong and other passengers aboard
the steamship Hydaspes, en route from Bombay to Aden, see what they
believe to be a mass of tangled seaweed, 20 to 30 feet long and 10 feet wide,
floating partially submerged. As their ship draws nearer, the
"seaweed" lifts a huge black head "in shape something like a
monstrous toad," with eyes three feet apart ad four to five inches in
diameter. Next, the head rose 30 or 40 feet above the ship's railing before it
submerged and vanished.
