The "Islander" referred to a fa-
mous Captain, C. M. Scammon,
discovering a herd of 30-foot long
sea elephants at the Isthmus (now
called "Two Harbors") in 1852.
The mammoth creatures, that
weighed up to a ton or more, could
expose 10' of their bodies out of
the water. They were supposedly
killed off by the Russian sea otter
hunters and, as of 1880, only one
has been seen, and that was in 1913
(The document that they made ref-
erence to was the "History Of The
North American Pinnipeds," by
Joel Asuph Allen, 1880, but no ref-
erence to these gigantic creatures
was mentioned).
