| Details |
A sea-monster photographed by a man of science, Dr. Bowlder Sharpe. Sighted by the steam yacht, 'Emerald' between Madeira and St. Thomas, the creature was estimated to be between 18-20 feet in length and slaty-grey/black above and slivery white below. It was concluded that it may possibly be identified with the lesser rorqual or Rudolphi's rorqual (Balaenoptera rostrata).
