“Fought A Sea Monster” – Meriden Daily Republican – Aug 4, 1891

“The other morning, the captain says, while pulling leisurely toward the breakwater, he was attracted by a commotion in the water near him. He rested his oars and looked to see what it was. He saw what looked like the hard shell back of a monster sea turtle. A moment later he saw the head and eyes of the strange object. As the head protruded above the surface the water was churned into foam by the flapping of what appeared to be long flippers. The head of the marine animal, the captain says, was covered with protruding horns.”
