About the Holiday

"A particularly famous sea serpent sighting was made by the men and officers of HMS Daedalus in August, 1848 during a voyage to Saint Helena in the South Atlantic; the creature they saw, some 60 feet long, held a peculiar maned head above the water. The sighting caused quite a stir."[1] Perhaps this is why we celebrate Sea Serpent Day on August 7th. Is it a myth? Is it real? Spend this holiday discussing the possibilities surrounding this sea serpent sighting and the many others that have been documented throughout history.
