Death by Giant Fish, Civil War Sea Monster & The 100mph Sea Serpent

July 21
57 mins

Episode Description

Why was a man killed by a “giant fish” in shallow British waters in the 1920s?

What swam into Limerick docks during the Irish Civil War? And what was the incredibly fast sea serpent that hundreds of holidaymakers tried to chase along the East Coast in 1936?

Historian Dr Mike Benbough-Jackson takes us through three strange aquatic cases from the interwar period, examining eyewitness accounts, newspaper reports, possible explanations — and what these stories reveal about the British coast and national psyche at the time.

A thoughtful, well-researched exploration of sea monsters, monster theory, and history’s stranger side.

Guest: Dr Mike Benbough-Jackson
