Aether Kraken over Innsmouth Harbor
Innsmouth, MA
A rare image depicting two aether kraken very close to shore, perhaps because of the approaching storm. The one in the foreground appears to be a large male Marsh's Aether Kraken, called "whities" by the yankee krakeners. His engorged gas bag is magnificent. it is harder to identify the second one. The image appears to be an ambrotype but it is undated and unlabeled. Marsh's Aether Kraken can still be seen in the Outer Banks from time to time if one has a bit of luck and an excellent tour captain but the legendarily aggressive Red Aether Kraken, known for attacking sailing vessels; dirigibles; and aeroships, are thought to be extinct.
