Someone was looking For.... "Giant Octopus" (1896)... this one I remembered from Childhood...
It washed ashore at St. Augustine in the Late 1800's... and a show that we watched a few years ago had scientist studying (preserved tissue samples" of) this Large creature.... we were heavy into the research of Sea and Lake Monsters as a kid This one we do remember having read...

very few images of this monstrosity....

The thing was the size of a giant Squid... making it the Largest Octopus ever recorded....
A perfect thing to end Summer at the Beach...
