Yaquina Bay Nessie
Yaquina Bay is a coastal community in Newport, Oregon, The bay is a semi-enclosed
body of water with connection to the
Pacific Ocean, but also diluted with freshwater from the Yaquina River. The Bay
is traversed by the Yaquina Bay Bridge.
The Yaquina Bay News reported in
1935 that two sea creatures, matching the description of a Kronosaurus (extinct
aquatic creature), had been sighted off the coast, attacking local sea lions.
It was dated June 13th and stated ‘seen by a couple ,no names given’.
Nicknamed Nessie, the
Yaquina Bay Monster. A statue has been erected in the town of a Kronosaurus, a plesiosaur that has been extinct
for millions of years to represent the monster.
No further sightings seem
to have been reported so was it a hoax? Anyone with further information please
post.
