< Sea Monsters On Maps >

A huge variety of marine monsters adorn Medieval and Renaissance maps and atlases.
There are monsters spouting water, monsters with huge tusks, monsters as big as islands, monsters that are hybrids of multiple creatures (both mythical and factual), and also mermaids, sirens and other creatures with some humanoid form.
Maps from this era show how our knowledge of geography was growing but also shows our lack of knowledge about large marine animals.
