The Navesink River is one of the most scenic estuaries on the East
Coast. Known for luxury yachts, stately homes, and iceboating, it is
hardly the place you would expect to find the legend of a sea serpent.
But in the late 19th century, it was the location of one of many
well-documented and unexplained sightings of mysterious sea creatures
that plagued the waters of the North Atlantic.
The creature in
question was seen by several people, all of whom were familiar with
local sea life. While returning from a daylong outing, Marcus P.
Sherman, Lloyd Eglinton, Stephen Allen and William Tinton, all of Red
Bank, encountered the monster.The Red Bank Register reported the
witnesses to be sober and respectable local merchants.
