NOTE: Gloucester’s Sea Serpent by History Press tells the story of the sea serpent that came into Gloucester Harbor in August, 1817. Gloucester’s Justice of the Peace Lonson Nash gathered affidavits for a book edited by an ambitious, serious committee composed of Judge John Davis of the Federal District Court in Boston, president of the Linnaean Society of New England, Francis Calley Gray, former diplomat and member of the Massachusetts Bar, and Dr. Jacob Bigelow, M.D., a University of Pennsylvania graduate who taught at the Harvard Medical School. Their book was universally rejected because they concluded that a mutant, rumplebacked black snake found in September, 1817 in a hay-field off of Loblolly Cove in Gloucester (today: Rockport) was the sea serpent’s baby.
Good Morning Gloucester 
FYI – The woman on the Statue is a tourist from Texas, she decided herself to climb up on it, I just took advantage of the opportunity for her to hold the book, before I helped her down.

Just finished reading the Gloucester Sea Serpent…. Interesting! So I’m thinking maybe when that Gafney guy shot him, it didn’t kill him (instantly), but with a bullet lodged in his head or something… he might have eventually gone out to sea and died at the bottom of the deepest of deep ocean. And if he/she was one of the last of a dying species rarely seen on the surface…. we will never never know the TRUTH!
I enjoyed!
