Thread Name: BS: Meet The Giant Squid!
Subject: RE: BS: Meet The Giant Squid!
Here's the link to PokSquid
In a more serious vain vein, I found an excellent source of on-line, full-text classic whaling literatue - Dana, Melville, Beale, various journals and reports et al. They include illustrations and some have "sailors songs". It's called The Plough Boy Journals
Each book is in one huge HTML file, so takes a fair time to download on a dial-up (open in new window). Rats, can't find the book with the great squid engulfing the ship piccy I saw last night. Look yerselves.
