My friend Steve Vernon invited me out to a lecture last night. The lecture was a history of sea monster sightings in Nova Scotia by zoologist Andrew Hebda. It was really cool. Did you know the first international news story about sea monsters comes from here? My favorite parts were the monster with a horses head in Cranberry lake and the merman that pestered some of the explorer Champlain's boats in the 1600's. The bottom map is a record of sea and lake monster sightings in the province.
