User:Sticky MD/Gloucester sea serpent

Because hundreds and maybe even thousands of people who saw the creature, combined with the Linnaean Society's report, this serpent is one of the most well documented sea serpents ever.

Such attention has drawn the notice of those within the Cryptozoology community, including the field's founder, Bernard Heuvelmans. Heuvelmans outlined sightings of the creature in his book, In the Wake of the Sea-Serpents, originally titled, Le Grand Serpent-de-Mer.
