Sea Monsters Unmasked

More about the book

Focusing on maritime myths, this volume critically examines legendary sea creatures like the Kraken and mermaids, offering a skeptical perspective that was remarkably advanced for its time. Henry Lee's thorough investigations aim to demystify these tales, blending folklore with rational inquiry. This edition combines the original works "Sea Monsters Unmasked" and "Sea Fables Explained," providing readers with an unabridged look at Lee's pioneering approach to understanding sea legends, first published in 1883.
