The Great New England Sea Serpent: An Account of Unknown Creatures Sighted by Many Respectable Persons Between 1638 and the Present Day

Is it a strange mammal related to the seals a descendant of a prehistoric reptile or a new unidentified animal? Whatever it is or was the witnesses call it a sea serpent. Remarkably similar descriptions of a creature with a long body undulating motion and horse-sized snake-like head have left a trail of clues and controversy going back three centuries. In The Great New England Sea Serpent J.P. ONeill draws on the historical record as well as previously unpublished first-hand accounts to chronicle more than 230 sightings of the mysterious marine creatures inhabiting the Gulf of Maine.
