HMS Daedalus Sea Serpent,1848

On August  6, 1848, Captain Peter McQuhae of the HMS Daedalus (Royal Navy) and several of his officers and crew saw a sea serpent which was subsequently reported (and debated) in The Times. The vessel sighted what they named as an enormous serpent between the Cape of Good Hope and St Helena. The serpent was witnessed to have been swimming with four feet of its head above the water and they believed that there was another sixty feet of the creature in the sea. Today, evolutionary biologist Gary Galbreath contends that what the crew of the Daedalus saw was a baleen whale.
