- A sea serpent. Or so it seemed.
In 1849, Captain Herriman spotted a long, strange shape off the Cape of Good Hope.
- They all saw a monster.
The chief officer and passengers agreed. Herriman had read of another sighting in these waters.
- He went closer.
With the ship becalmed, Herriman took a boat and a harpoon to investigate.
- The monster was seaweed.
A tangled root mass looked like a head. The current and swell made the long strands seem alive.
- A closer look changed his mind.
Without the boat trip, Herriman said he would have remained convinced. The sighting survived—as a lesson in checking.
