I was curious about the reality of many claims over the centuries of sea serpents or large ocean monsters, so I thought I’d research this subject myself. There were many amazing stories, such as the giant whale which attacked a ship in the 19th century. This event was the reason Herman Melville wrote the book Moby Dick. There are many records of giant fish and serpents in the water. The question is which of these have some basis in reality. In this book, I tried to do some comprehensive research on the giants of the deep. I hope you find this interesting.
