Loch ness monster sightings have counted up to 3,000 and are still growing. The first account of a lake monster was report-ed in the sixth century. Some say the Vikings were the first to ask about the creatures. Their mythology tells of “Water Horses” in the lochs of Scotland. In 1934 the word about the loch ness monster began to spread when a respected scientific writer Rupert Gould published a book called “The Loch Ness Monster and Others”. When the very first photograph of Nessie was taken researchers began to use modern equipment to search the Loch for the monster.
During the 1970’s a team of scientist used a sonar to track multiple objects in the loch that were about 20 to 30 feet long (Thomas 1). A.D. 565 is how far back the loch ness …show more content…
Loch Ness is about twenty to twenty four miles long by around a mile wide. The deepest it goes down in about a thousand feet and is estimated to hold about 262,000 million cubic feet of water. The loch occupies a large part of the Great Glenn fault which extends from the coastline of the Black Isle in the east to Loch Linnhe in the west (Frere 9). In 1946 W.Q. Kennedy had a theory that the fissure had cracked open and moved sideways, he used the fact that the surrounding rocks had been shattered and broken over a wide area between 1½ and 2½ miles on each …show more content…
The captain described the creature to be a dark brown with a yellowish white at the throat, it had no fins but had a mane of a horse or a bunch of seaweed in its neck. The monster was seen by the quarter man, the boatswains mate and the wheel and the officers above (Snyder 18). The most famous photo of the loch ness monster was the “surgeons photograph” which in later years turned out to be a hoax (Snyder 76). With more than sixty percent of the earths cov-ered in water it would not be surprising if there was a large species that had not been discovered yet (bord 10). In July 2003 a team commissioned by the British broadcasting corpora-tion searched loch ness for its fabled monster but said that Nessie could not be found. The loch had been repeatedly searched for the past seven years and still no one has found any evidence that there is a monster living in the loch (Rad-ford
