EGEDE SEA MONSTER

One of the most famous sea monster sightings is that described by Hans Egede (1684-1758).  Egede gave a description of the animal, but in cryptozoology there seems to be the misapprehension that Egede himself actually saw the creature.  In fact, this is not the case.  He was informed of the incident by a Pastor Bing.  A sketch of what the animal looked like is produced below.
