August 12, 1897 [LAT]: “While J. Willey was out with his glassbottom boat yesterday, at the kelp beds, near Sugar Loaf, he noticed a large skeleton in the water. It is apparently the remains of some marine monster. The bones are large, some of them being six feet in length, and are plainly seen through the clear water. Capt. Willey has been a sea-faring man for twenty-seven years, but has never seen anything of the kind before, and nobody here seems to be able to diagnose the skeleton. It lies in about fifteen feet of water.”
