THE DOVE

THE DOVE-

Good evening my-dearest friends, followers, supports & readers. Today I'm going to bring you the tale of the Dove. I was going to do this post during the Easter Holiday but I got a bit busy. However, I loved the tale of the Dove so I decided to write it out tonight for you all.
The Dove is considered sacred & magical wherever the Dove is known around the world. In general, the Dove symbolizes your soul. It's also seen as a messenger between God & humans. Among the primal traditions of the world, the dove is described as representing peace, innocence, gentleness, timidity & chastity. Although in some areas it can represent lustfulness. In virtually everybody's tradition that knows of the dove, it's considered sacred to creating the Great Mother or the Queens of Heaven. In Babylonian and Mesopotamian the traditions of the dove symbolize the Goddess Ishtar and in Christian belief it's the symbol of the Virgin Mary. The Phoenicians saw the dove as a Companion to the Moon Goddess Astarte, while the Goddess Syrian Atargatis bore a Sceptre with a Golden Dove on its tip.
In the mythology of ancient Egypt the Dove is associated with the tree of life. It is portrayed sitting in its branches or carrying the fruit of the tree in its beak. It also has a special affinity with the olive trees & to this day the image of the dove carrying an olive branch is almost universally recognized as a symbol of peace.
In Japan- the ancient legend describes the dove as a messenger of war and sacred to the God of War. This is symbolism reversed.
In Classic Greek- during the time of the Olympians  & Titian's, Zeus the oldest son of Cronos was hidden from his father by his mother Rhea. The Doves kept Zeus alive by feeding him as a infant-child to young adult ambrosia. The dove is also sacred to Adonis, Bacchus and Aphrodite who is often shown in a chariot drawn by doves.   

Turtledoves

There was an Roman writer, by the name 'Aelian who stated that the white turtledoves were sacred not only to Aphrodite & her mother Demeter, but was also sacred to the Fates & the Furies, which shows that even the sacred Dove of peace & innocence could be considered dangerous when it served such destructive forces. Another tale of the Dove is one that lived in the sacred Oak of Dodona who gave the oldest oracle of the God Zeus. It apparently spoke with a human voice & the priestesses of the sacred site was known as 'Doves'. It seems that there were other sources that said that the oracle answers were conveyed not by the voice of the Dove, but in its flight, which could be read according to the circumstances. Yet another version to this tale, attributes the oracle to the sound of the rustling of leaves caused by doves sitting among the branches of the sacred oak... 
The Turtledove was domesticated by the Hebrew people. They happen to be the only ones that the beautiful and sacred creature would allow to approach them. It was said the reason why! It was  according to the Law of the Moses that only the Hebrew people could have contact with the sacred Dove of God.
Doves are the most mentioned bird in the bible & were considered to be particularly sacred to the Hebrew people. In the old Testament tradition the dove represents freedom, escape from tyranny, simplicity harmlessness, innocence, meekness and constancy too!
In the New Testament the Dove is represents the holy spirit. In Medieval tradition times it is perceived as bringing the sacred water into the vessel of the Holy Grail.

In Babylonian Chaldean, Greek and Hebrew Traditions the dove is also associated with the story of the Great Flood in which it appearance symbolized an end to the inundation and a return to

normal life once more- For me the Dove has always meant blessing

from God and to all people, that believe their own God that they find peace all over the world. I hope you enjoyed

my post of the Dove.

love you all my dears

THE MISSED-UNDERSTOOD WEREWOLF-

The Missed-Understood Werewolf-

Hello my dears, I've always enjoyed a good Movie/T.V show-Bitten (Favorite) although when it comes to Werewolf or for that matter Skin Walkers they always get the bad reputation. I have already done a post on Skin Walkers so I thought I would do the same for the Werewolf. You see in my opinion the Werewolf happens to just be in the wrong place at the wrong time. In most cases they once were a human man/woman or even teen that has been bitten by another pure wolf and usually are just protecting their own. The Werewolf has many names and comes from many different cultures too. The most traditional that exists is in the European countries. The name 'Werewolf' was derived from the Old English word - wer which means man. When you add wolf to it, well now you know where the word comes from at least in Europe. However, it isn't just a phenomenon that exists just in Europe or the States as I discovered doing this post. The Werewolf metamorphosis happens in other animals which is prevalent in the European regions. According to the legend werewolves are humans who have been bitten by another cursed werewolf. Then there is the other belief that there are ancient packs that have lived for many centuries that are pure bloods that feel that they are not cursed. Its' really all up to what you what or willing to believe. The Europeans belief that werewolves are traced back to ancient times in Greece & Rome. They were know as the 'Versipeilis' or 'Turnskins' in Latin during Roman times. In ancient Greek times it was believed  that a human could be transformed by eating the meat of an wolf that had been mixed with that of a human and that the condition was irreversible. The Greek Tradition originated from the over zealous worship of the God Zeus by Lycaeon who had sacrificed his child for Zeus. In return Lycaeon son was turned into a wolf, so I guess sometimes the

God Zeus was a just God at times. After that a cult of wolf  worshippers was established. These folks would wear wolf masks and hunt the sacrificial beings, sometimes humans through the forests to be destroyed by them. It was said, that Herodotus in the years between(485-425BC). Suggested that the Neuri, which was a tribe of sorcerers who were capable of transforming themselves on certain feasts of the year.
It was found that an Elder of the tribe of sorcerers in AD77 by the name of Pliny of the prestigious family of Antaeus remained an Werewolf/Lycanthrope for nine years after having been selected by drawing lots of the wolfs during the medieval period. After the demise of the native wolf, it was though that witchcraft was the source of the Werewolves & numerous of  people were accused of this crime.

Thousands were put to death in England & in France more that 30,000 people were executed between the years of 1520 and 1630 as being suspected of being werewolf. I believe it was also part of the whole  horrific horror of the witch trials too. It was also said even in Germany there was a well documented case that was even published in England in they year 1590. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED;
A man by the name of Peter Stubbs who lived in Bedburg Germany, guises himself as a wolf - raped murdered then ate humans including his own family as well. Peter Stubbs continued his terror in Bedburg Germany as guise as a wolf for some 25years until he was caught, tortured then executed.
Interesting tale. There are many different kinda names for the werewolf that I found here are a few;
1-In Germany (Loup Garou)
2-In France (Vlkodlaks or Vookodlaks)
3-In Slovakia (Vircolak)
4-In Russia (Vulkodak)
5-In Portugal(Lob Omem)
6-In Spain(Lob Ombre)
7-In Italy(Lupo Manaro)
It is said that in France, Germany, Scandinavia and Russia there exist many tales of the Werewolf,
Were-Bears, were-cats, were-dogs and were-foxs too!

In the rest of the world the Werewolf many manifest as another animal such as the Were-

Crocodile,were-Jackal, were-hyena, & the were-leopard of African countries. In Borneo, India, China & Japan we have the were-Tiger, were-fox. Then there is the were-boar of Greece and Turkey. In the USA the were-mountain cat and were-bear and the were-jaguar of South America. Of course you have to take some of this as legend and other as truth. I will leave that up to you all my dears I hope that you enjoy my post on the history sorta on the Werewolf. I will well also show a few gifs of my favorite show Bitten. Its here in the states. Its one of the nicer done of the portrait of the werewolf

Hope you all had a lovely day

US COASTAL CITIES & the RISEINING SEAS COULD THREATEN MILLIONS

US COASTAL CITIES & the RISES SEAS
COULD THREATEN MILLIONS-

In this post, I have been wanting to do this subject matter for quite some time. I will try to give you as much information that I can on this subject so that you will be in the coming years. As you know by looking at my blog, I have an clear subject going on with blog; One is the love and strong believe in the Fae, love of fantasy, mythology, urban legends, gardens, stories, poetry, faeries, dragons, hummingbirds, causes for children and animals and much more. However there is another side to me that I used to do when I was on network sites - Ning networks... And one of them was Climate and how it effects our planted. Since the world was so effected by weather the last couple of years I thought I would do a new group of posts on the problems that we are all are facing with Climate change. I hope you find this post interesting and helpful. I will do one or two a week, or when I find them. The first problem on American soil is the growing number of Americans that are making their new or old homes very near the idyllic beaches of the Florida Keys. I must say this area is beautiful, however it's also a very dangerous area too. Its only a matter of time when half of the state of Florida is under the ocean.  Sadly this is one of the first place that will be rushed with Hugh rogue waves that will cover have of the entire state of Florida. And beautiful Florida Keys will be gone! You see the combination of rising populations and rising seas could see millions of Americans living in homes that flood regularly during the next decades ahead, according to a nationwide analysis who wrote in the journal 'NaturFlooding' is already a routine during high tides and storms in parts of Florida.

The only way to protect the populations is by taking step now, and that is relocation of large populations or redirect the building in these high dangerous area's of the rising seas to come. Which isn't going to be easy because most don't believe that this is actually going to happen. The other huge problem that we need to address is the rising levels of the greenhouse effect of gas pollution that is continue warming the planet which is causing the seas to rise and the glaciers to melt. Scientists have combined their studies and research on the matter on local population trends with the conservation projections for the rising sea levels to conclude that the homes of 4million Americans would be inundated during high tides following 3 feet of seal level rise by the year 2100. I quote one ecologist at Stetson University as he says' Once you take into account growth of population, the numbers end up being two to three times more in terms of overall population that's going to be impacted than of you just look at current populations, who contributed to the study 'Florida really pops out'!
It would seem that the scientific researches have already done some preliminary steps in adapting to the rising seas in Monroe County & in some other vulnerable regions too. This places were studied for many things such as if a fossil fuel burning and deforestation continued at the current rates, they found it was leading to sea level rise of 6 feet by 2100. Sadly with these predictions, the researchers projected that the number of Americans living in homes that would be in the flooding areas would jump to 13million. Sadly most of those 13 million people that would be impacted by the rising seas;

California, New York and Louisiana alike would be home to about 1million people apiece whose homes could flood at high tide in 2100 if seas rise by 6 feet. Even though the results are speculative they are assume that developers well continue to build homes in the same manner on coastal hubs the way they currently do and at the current rates with the rising seas they also assume that the people will not make any changes and remain in the same area of the rising flood area's. Because no one truly believes it will happen. Another researcher at the nonprofit resource for the future said', 'People may now be living in areas that will be inundated in 50 or 100 years but we have time to react'. 'Sea level rise is not an immediate impact there is time to move and adapt.'
Nobody really know how our communities will be reshaped as the flooding continues to become more routine in the lowland area's. We just have to hope that the people will listen to the warning early as the projections are true - so that we can re locate millions of people before it happens.
In doing this post I did find that Florida is in the most danger of loosing huge percent of their populations. If the rising seas just goes to 3 feet they could loose about 4percet of the population of Florida and if its 6 feet well, that could be a disaster. The problem could affect nearly 2million residents of the county in 2100, even more that a third of the people who are expected to live there by the year too. As for the affect on Monroe County , which includes key west and other islands at the tip of Florida or any islands around the world that are sea level, they all would be hit the hardest. If the seas rise up to 6 feet+ by 2100 the researcher project that 83% of its residents world endure daily flooding. Some saw that half of Florida would be gone after all the flooding is done and no more island in around the oceans would survive. So we need to act now and help as many people as we can. Sadly when  I started doing this over 10+ years ago no one believed I hope now people will start because it is getting worst and it will happen. I just wish that people would have listen 10+ years ago when lots of folks were trying to tell people it was going to happen and it was slowly how lets just hope it isn't to late. love you Wendy...

WHITE STRING OF JAPAN URBAN LEGEND

White String-

Good evening my dears I thought I would try and catch-up for the month If I can or try to. For this post I know that some of you enjoy a good creepy urban legend and I know that there are quite a few in the Japanese legend. The White String is right up there with creepy. Its a short one but interesting too. Some say besides being a urban legend it is a true one however that one I will leave for you all to decided for yourselves.
The White String is a strange urban legend from Japan that I found on my favorite site for Japanese folklore/urban legends. The story is about ear pierces. Which is odd because I had my ears pierced when I was 16years old in the mall and my little sister did at was 14 and were both just fine. Well one with the tall. It was very popular in the 80's to get your ears pierced as I do remember that too. At the time in the 80's when the popular time of getting your ears pierced was going on this urban legend stopped quite a few young japan kids for fear that the urban legend would happen to them! Many were very afraid that the urban legend would truly happen compared to some of the others so many didn't get their ears pierced during that time of the 80's.
Well this is the tale of what happen to one girl in japan that did get her ears pierced and why so many believe the urban legend of the White String.
ONE DAY THERE WAS A YOUNG GIRL THAT WAS DESPERATELY WANTED TO HAVE HER EARS PIERCED. SHE LIVED IN JAPAN WITH HER PARENTS AND THEY SAID SHE WAS FAR TO YOUNG AND NEED TO WAIT A FEW YEARS. HOWEVER THE YOUNG GIRL PLEADED WITH HER PARENTS, SAYING THAT ALL HER CLASSMATES WERE GETTING IT DONE AT THIS AGE PLEASE!PLEASE! SHE WOULD SAY! WELL, EVENTUALLY HER PARENTS LET HER DO IT AND GAVE HER SOME MONEY, THEY TOLD HER TO GO TO THE LOCAL MALL TO GET IT DONE IN A LOCAL JEWRY STORE THEN GET PIERCED EARRINGS. THEY FELT AT LEAST SHE WOULD BE SAFE IN THE JEWRY STORE MALL. OR AT LEAST THEY THOUGHT.

THINGS DON'T ALWAYS GO AS A PARENT WOULD HOPE THE YOUNG GIRL DECIDED TO KEEP THE MONEY FOR HERSELF AND TO THE PIERCING HERSELF. THE YOUNG GIRL GOT HER BEST FRIEND TO HELP HER DO IT JUST IN CASE IT WAS HARDER THAN SHE THOUGHT. FIRST THEY HEATED UP A VERY LARGE NEEDLE TO MAKE SURE NO INFECTION AND THEN STUCK IT IN BOTH OF THEIR EARLOBES. OF COURSE IT WAS VERY PAINFUL FOR BOTH OF THE GIRLS. BUT IN THE END BOTH HERE FRIEND AND HERSELF HAD PIERCED EARS AND COULD WARE THE FANCY EARRINGS THAT THEY WANTED TOO. SO FAR EVERYTHING WAS GOING FINE AND NO SCARY CURSE OR LEGEND HAD HAPPEN TO THE GIRLS FOR DAYS. BUT ALL GOOD THINGS WHEN YOU ARE MESSING WITH A URBAN LEGEND MUST COME TO AN END. SO IT HAPPENED A FEW DAYS LATER , WHILE THE GIRL WAS IN SCHOOL SHE WAS BEGINNING TO GET A LOT OF PAIN IN HER LEFT EAR WHERE SHE HAD PIERCED HER EAR. THE LEFT EARLOBE BEGAN TO GET VERY ITCHY AND PAINFUL TOO. DURING A BREAK AT SCHOOL SHE DECIDED TO HAVE A LOOK AND WENT TO THE BATHROOM TO LOOK AT HER EARLOBE., ONLY TO DISCOVER IT HAD GOTTEN EVEN WORST. HER EAR WAS BRIGHT RED AND INFLAME AND VERY ITCHY TOO! THE YOUNG GIRL BEGAN TO SCRATCH AT IT ALOT. STILL IN THE SCHOOL BATHROOM SHE NOTICED SOMETHING ODD, WHEN THE YOUNG GIRL HAD A CLOSER LOOK AT HER EAR, IT LOOKED LIKE THE END OF A PIECE OF WHITE STRING, WAS COMING OUT OF HER EARLOBE. THE YOUNG GIRL THOUGHT THIS TO BE VERY STRANGE & IT SHOULD BE THERE SO, SHE STARTED TO PULL AND PICK AT THE LONG WHITE STRING THAT WAS COMING FROM HER EARLOBE IN HOPE THAT IT WOULD STOP THE PAINFUL ITCH TOO. AFTER A FEW MINUTES THERE WAS A VERY LONG PIECE OF WHITE STRING HANGING OUT OF HER PIERCED EARLOBES, AS SHE LOOKED AT IT THERE DIDN'T SEEM TO BE ANY END TO IT. IT JUST WENT ON AND ON AND ON! SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO! BUT SHE DIDN'T THING IT WAS ANYTHING IMPORTANT, SO SHE GOT A PART OF SCISSORS & CUT THE LONG WHITE STRING THAT WAS HANGING OUT OF HER EARLOBE THAT DIDN'T SEEM TO HAVE ANY END TO IT. AS SOON AS SHE CUT THE WHITE STRING EVERYTHING WENT BLACK & SHE COULDN'T SEE A THING! RUNNING OUT OF THE BATHROOM TO GET HELP SHE WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL AND THE LOCAL DOCTOR EXAMINED HER. FINALLY THE DOCTOR WAS ABLE TO TELL THE YOUNG GIRL WHAT HAD HAPPEN TO HER AND SHE ALMOST WENT INTO SHOCK. YOU SEE, THE DOCTOR AT THE HOSPITAL SAID TO THE GIRL THAT SHE WILL BE BLIND FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE! THE REST FOR THIS IS; THE REASON FOR THIS IS THE WHITE STRING THAT YOU WERE PULLING ON THAT WAS IN YOUR EARLOBE AND THEN NOTICE THAT IT WAS VERY LONG WITH NO ENDING WAS YOUR OPTIC NERVE. I DON'T KNOW WAY IT WAS COMING FROM YOU EAR BUT YOU SHOULD HAVE COME HERE TO HOSPITAL BEFORE YOU START CUTTING THINGS....

SO THAT IS THE URBAN LEGEND OF THE WHITE STRING. HOPE YOU ALL FOUND IT INTERESTING MY DEAREST FRIENDS, FOLLOWERS, SUPPORTERS AND READERS

YOUR FRIEND ALWAYS

SEA DRAGON

Sea Dragon~

To continue my 'Love for the Dragon', I thought I would tell another tale about my favorite
Subject 'Dragons'. One of the most elusive of the Dragons is the Gigantic Sea Serpent, over the many centuries there have been thousands of sighting all over the world. Also, there has been extensive surveys of the deepest ocean beds, and deepest lakes that seem to have no bottom to them. There has been the latest submarine technology that allows, marine biologist to take many photos in the deep ocean beds and deep lakes that seem to have no ends to them. In these photos they have images of what seem to be the lost Dragon Serpent. However, with all this there still are many people that still don't believe because they have to have evidence to prove of the existence of them. The problem with this is; that people forget just because there isn't evidence doesn't mean dragons, faeries, elves and magick creatures aren't Here! They choose to be Unseen to those that don't believe. I myself have believed in them most of my life. And now in my adult life completely do! I believe that they are all over the world hidden and only come out when there is no moon in the darkest of places.

There are many amazing writings on many different dragons, but sadly they are all concerned unverifiable. Here are a few facts that I was able to find that you all might find interesting;
It was in the 16th century, when an Archbishop of Uppsala in Sweden, by the name of 'Olaus Magnus had seen what he says was described in his mind to be an 'SEA DRAGON'. Olaus Magunus said, that the Sea Dragon that he saw was over two hundred feet long & twenty feet around including around its neck; 'He hath commonly hair hanging from his neck a cubit long and sharp scales & is black and hath flaming shining eyes. This snake disquiets the snippers and he puts his head on high like a pillar and catchth away men and devours them.' Apparently the Archbishop 'Olaus Magunus had not seen the Sea Dragon himself, however he was told this tale by an reliable source of the Church.
Even so, they are people that sever God! So they in my opinion would not tell a lie!
In the eighteenth century there was another sighting of an Sea Dragon. This one was recorded by an eyewitness statement from an missionary Hans Egede. He happened to be on his way from Norway to Greenland. The Missionary Hans Egede said in the recorded statement what he had seen, was an enormous Sea Dragon on his way from Norway to Greenland. It was near a massive Ship. The head of the Dragon reached as high as the master sails. The body was bulky as the ship, at least 4to5 times as longer! It had a long pointed snout that kinda looked like a whalefish with huge broad paws. His entire body was covered with what looked like shimmering colorful shells wrote the missionary Hans. Its skin was colorful, rugged and uneven. If you're lucky to see the underside of the beast its shaped like an massive serpent like snake so when it dives into the ocean it can move very easily through the waves. Also, Hans could see the Sea Dragon plunge backward into the Sea raising its massive tail a loft, which seemed to be the entire length of the ship. And it could very much be used as a weapon too.

In August of 1746 there was another sighting in Norway. (It would seem that in the days up in

Norway in Greenland the Dragons weren't afraid to come out at a time. Now we have to many technical weapons that can harm them and that is my option why they don't come out and hide whether they are the very dangerous dark dragons like these or and there are the kindly dragons too! This sighting was by Bishop of Bergen. The Bishop remembered the accounts of an Norwegian Ship Captain, who saw, the harpooning of an Sea Dragon in 1746. Sadly the creature sank into the ocean before the Captain & his crew could haul the Sea Dragon abroad their ship. Apparently the Captain had come to the Bishop to confess his sins on what he had don and seen. And the Bishop of Bergen shared the Accounts of what the Norwegian Captain saw with his other men of the cloth.
This is the tale of what the Norwegian Captains told the Bishop of Bergen;
The Captain said that the Sea Dragons Head stuck out at least 2-3 feet above the surface of the water. It also resembled that of a horse. It was massive in size, having a huge black eyes, and teeth. The body of the Sea Dragon was a greyish-white with an long white mane, which hung down into the ocean. Beside the huge head & long neck he saw seven or eight coils of this snake like dragon which were very thick.
The next sighting of an Sea dragon could possibly be the most reliable of all with the most reliable witness statement too! It comes from the Captain of H.M.S. Daedalus. It was in his ship writing log after returning to Plymouth from the East Indies. You may ask, Why? is this the most reliable witness of all the Sea Dragon sightings...Well, its probably because the Captain of H.M.S Daedalus had staked his reputation on what he saw before the Lords of the Admiralty on its veracity. The Captain Career would have been ruined if he was found to be lying about what he saw and wrote in his captain log. Sadly I couldn't find any more info to this tale and what happened to him. Well, my dears

I decided to dig a bit and I found what I think is the Captain, you will have to make that opinion for your self. but I have found some info for you... I will also leave you a link too.
Well, my dears I had to look a bit on the web and put the name Daedalus in many different ways but I think I found it. however you can make you own opinion on this part to the tale of this post.

The Tale seems to have real roots & real events too. The Captain H.M.S Daedalus was a real ship. It was built in the year 1820 called a Leda-class frigate and then later was rated to the corvette. The HMS Daedalus was best known in Victorian Britain for the sighting of the serpent between Cape of Good Hope and St Helena in the year of 1848. Which was over 165 years ago. It would seem that it truly did happen to the Captain of the Daedalus and his crew of witness I enormous Sea Serpent based on those in the contemporary report from the officers of the frigate and the Captains log. However what exactly they all saw that day in the cold Atlantic on that August day will remains a mystery to this day. Only the few writings and the beautiful Illustrated drawings is what we have to maybe what this men saw that frightful late afternoon. During this post I will share the Illustrations that I have found from the London News coverage of the Daedalus sea serpent in October of 1848. Also you can buy the book called 'Daedalus and the Deep' in ebooks just look at the link; Buy Daedalus and the Deep in ebook or paperback here 

Apparently back in the day of 1848 the sighting that the crew of the ship sparked quite a considerable interest back in the UK and the London Illustrators News people and other newspapers did quite a find job at the drawing they interpreted of the sea serpent sightings by the crew HMS Daedalus on August 6, 1848. There was one reporter that said' That it is quite amazing that such a creature, however, there can be little doubt, to it truth said Gleason's Pictorial Drawing Room Companion reported, as his appearance has been so often alluded to. One of the best descriptions and on the very best authority, is that which we have seen the report of an

English officer to the war department of his own country. When the Daedalus frigate, Captain M

'Quhae, which arrived at London, not long since, was on her passage home from the East Indies, between the Cape of Good Hope and St Helena, her report continues as so; The size well, its head appeared to be about four feet  out of the water, and there was about sixty feet of body in a straight line on the surface of the water. The Dragon was very calculated that it must have been under water partly at a length of thirty to forty feet or more, by which it propelled itself at the rate of fifteen miles an hour on the surface. The diameter of the exposed part of the Dragons body was about sixteen inches & when it extended its jaws, which were full of very large jagged teeth, which seemed to sufficiently capacious to admit of a overly tall man of 8 feet tall. standing upright between them. The diameter of the exposed part of the body was about sixteen inches and when it extended its jaws, which were full of enormous jagged teeth, they seemed sufficiently capacious to admit of a ordinary man or even a very tall man standing upright between those teeth.'

The journal of the London Newspaper quoted Captain M' Quhae's from the Daedalus ship log  directly...(note I found the name of the Captains name Lola!) 
'It passed rapidly, but so close under our lee quarter that had it been a man of my acquaintance I should have easily recognized the features with the naked eye... It had no fins, but something like the man of a horse, or rather a bunch of seaweed washed about its back,' M' Quhae described the creature head as like 'th'
It is said that the sighting of the Sea Dragon by the crew and their Captain M'Quhae is a remarkably and amazing thing for with all the written ship logs and eye witness that they had they were able to make the beautiful contemporary artist impression showing how close the sea serpent was said to have passed their ship. Also it was not unique of sorts because in fact the following year another similar sighting was reported by the sloop HMS Plumper in the Atlantic off the coast of Portugal. 'An officer had described what he saw as 'a long black creature with a sharp head, moving slowly, I should think about two knots... Its back was about twenty feet if not more above the water; and its head, as near as I could judge to be six to eight feet long ... There was something on its back that appeared to be like that of a mane. and as it moved through the water, it kept washing about; but before I could examine it more closely it was too far astern' at of a snake'. captain and most of her officers and crew at four o'clock on afternoon saw a sea serpent. 'THE SEA SERPENT SIGHTED

BY HMS PLUMPER THE YEAR AFTER HMS DAEDALUS SIGHTING. 
Well, my dears that was the sighting of the HMS Daedalus of 1820 and the extra info. the link is at the bottom of the post. I have one more or they saw there have been many over the course of the years as we get closer to the 21century. In 1930 by a lieutenant Commander Rupert T. Gould - Another in 1968 by Bernerd Heuvelmans too. Even in the 20th century there have been a few sighting too. However, the problem now is, 'The age of techs. Without material evidence the majority of humanity just won't believe. Dragons have always been here before the being of time. Even before the dinosaurs yet humans still don't believe. I believe that they are still hear. And you don't have to have evidence to believe. Well, I hope you enjoyed my Sea Dragon post love you all
