Telling stories of the sea has been going on for as long as men have sailed ... tales of monsters, gigantic waves and mermaids have been used to explain things not understood or perhaps as warnings or maybe just bragging ... old sailors and fisherman would gather together and try to outdo each other with bigger and bolder tales, while the children of the towns would listen in and visualize the denizens they spoke about ... But what if these tales are more than just that? What if tales have their basis in reality? What if a tale actually turned out to be true?
