The Big Squid Map

So you've visited the web sites, you've watched the grade B movies, you've checked all your likely appliances, and you're still asking the sixty-four thousand dollar question, "Where can I find my own Giant Squid???" Check the map.

This map was created using the not-particularly-highly scientific technique of plotting orange dots in the general vicinity of locations listed in Appendix B "Giant Squid Sightings and Strandings 1639-1993" of the book Monsters of the Sea by Richard Ellis published in 1994 by Knopf. I recommend the book for anyone who is at all interested in sea monsters.
