mysteries revealed.
Captain William Taylor, master of the British ship British Banner, reported the following story in 1860:
On the 25th of April,in lat. 12 deg. 7 min. 8 sec. N., and long. 93 deg. 52 min. E., with the sun over the mainyard, felt a strong sensation as if the ship was trembling.
Sent the second mate aloft to see what was up.
The latter
called out to me to go up the fore rigging and look over the bows.
I did so, and saw an enormous serpent shaking the bowsprit with its mouth.
It must have been at least 300 feetlong; was
about the circuntference of a very wide crinoline petticoat, with black back, shaggy mane, horn on the forehead, and large
glaring eyes placed rather near the nose, and jaws about eight feet
long.
He did not observe me, and continued shaking the bowsprit and throwing the sea
alongside into a foam until the former came clear away from the ship.
The serpent was powerful enough, although the ship was carrying all sail, and going at about ten knots at the time he attacked us, to stop her way completely.
When the bowsprit,
with the jibboom, sails, and rigging, went by the board, the monster swallowed the foretopmast, staysail, jib, and flying-jib, with the greatest apparent ease.

He shoved off a little after this, and returned apparently to scratch himself against the side of the ship, making the most extraordinary noise, resembling that on board a steamer when the boilers are blowing off. The serpent darted off like a flash of lightning, striking the vessel with its tail, and staving in all the starboard quarter gallery with its tail. Saw no more of it.
