Long Beach & Sea Serpents

I will be on the RMS Queen Mary at Long Beach, California, greeting fans and friends, signing and selling a wide variety of my books, next Monday and Tuesday.

On Monday, December 8th, at 11:30 am, on that Art Deco ship, I’ll be giving a talk on “Sea Serpents and Cryptozoology.”

Here’s an updated clarification: I am speaking at a sold-out conference on the Queen Mary, but I can be visited at my table by anyone coming into the public lobby. Also, my talk is free and open to my guests and visitors from the public, as long as you know you cannot go to other talks at this conference or the TAPS/Ghost Hunters special events and tours of the ship. (Yes, I know Jason and Grant, they will be there, and I write a regular column on cryptozoology for TAPS Paramagazine.)

Intriguingly, the 1848 sighting of the above unknown Atlantic Ocean marine cryptid, as seen from the ship HMS Daedalus, does match, in appearance, the similar kind of Sea Serpents seen off California.

Loren Coleman About Loren Coleman
Loren Coleman is one of the world’s leading cryptozoologists, some say “the” leading living cryptozoologist. Certainly, he is acknowledged as the current living American researcher and writer who has most popularized cryptozoology in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. Starting his fieldwork and investigations in 1960, after traveling and trekking extensively in pursuit of cryptozoological mysteries, Coleman began writing to share his experiences in 1969. An honorary member of Ivan T. Sanderson’s Society for the Investigation of the Unexplained in the 1970s, Coleman has been bestowed with similar honorary memberships of the North Idaho College Cryptozoology Club in 1983, and in subsequent years, that of the British Columbia Scientific Cryptozoology Club, CryptoSafari International, and other international organizations. He was also a Life Member and Benefactor of the International Society of Cryptozoology (now-defunct). Loren Coleman’s daily blog, as a member of the Cryptomundo Team, served as an ongoing avenue of communication for the ever-growing body of cryptozoo news from 2005 through 2013. He returned as an infrequent contributor beginning Halloween week of 2015. Coleman is the founder in 2003, and current director of the International Cryptozoology Museum in Portland, Maine.
