It’s National Sea Serpent Day. What occurred to make this day happen? I’m glad you asked:
National Day Calendar:
[I]n August 1848, several men aboard the HMS Daedalus couldn’t believe their eyes when they looked out upon the South Atlantic. Several passengers and officers on a voyage to Saint Helena spied a 60-foot-long creature bearing a peculiar maned head above the ocean water. National Sea Serpent Day commemorates this siting and the many other stories that continue to be told.
A “60-foot-long creature.” That’s the length of six basketball goals. With a head – above water – that resembles a wolf or a bat. I’d rather fly.
