Next time you are cuising off the coast of Western Canada around the Vancouver Island area, watch out! There’s a monster about! First cousin of the Loch Ness monster, this creature has been fuelling imaginations for the past two hundred years or so. The auhors put forward the evidence for this cryptid ( academic parlance for monster) in an entertaining manner. They describe the sightings, going back to original material where possible, and weigh up the evidence for the existence of a sea going creature that is between fifteen and forty feet long and capable of twenty five knots. If you like to read eclectic information on the edge of nautical experience then this is the book for you.CRE
