So link to England and Eccentrics here.

eggshaped	181985.  Tue Jun 12, 2007 6:26 am A possible explanation for Sea Serpent stories. Quote: Many of the large baleen whales have long, snake-like penises. If the animal did indeed fall on its back then its ventral surface would have been uppermost and, if the whale was aroused, the usually retracted penis would have been visible. The penises of the North Atlantic right whale and (Pacific) grey whale can be at least 1.8 metres long, and 1.7 metres long respectively, and could be taken by a naive witness for a tail.
