Kronosaurus Tapestries
Description: In 1915 Georg-Günther Freiherr von Forstner, commander of submarine U-28, saw something unusual off the Irish coast. Shortly after torpedoing the British steamer Iberian, something within the sinking vessel exploded. Along with debris from the doomed Iberian a gigantic marine creature was thrown skywards - an animal which the astounded German captain could only liken to a goliath crocodile, and something that sounds very-much like a prehistoric marine reptile such as the 20 meter-long pliosaur Kronosaurus, which was the wolf of the sea 99 million years before the U-Boat came along. Whether there is any truth in this supposed sighting of a prehistoric monster, it certainly captures the imagination and deserves a teeshirt. And so do you!

Description: A rogues gallery of some of the greatest predators to have dwelt in our planet's oceans. Seeing how big and toothy life used to be makes one grateful that these creatures are not alive today... though there are those who would claim these monsters still lurk in our seas; it is not like anyone who encountered them would live to tell the tale after all...
