The 19th Century witnessed a dramatic increase in the number of reported sea serpent sightings. Although these mythical creatures had been a part of many different cultural traditions for millennia, the rise of paleontology as a science alongside the development of print media created a renewed interest in sea serpents in Victorian era Britain and the United States. Discoveries of Ichthyosaurs and Plesiosaurs opened the possibly for the ancient legends to be proven true, while newspaper accounts of sightings provided thrilling entertainment in an age before the advent of television. Perhaps most importantly, sea serpents added a sense of mystery and wonder into a world that was being increasingly demystified by the rise of modern science. The Victorian era was also defined by a fascination with the mysterious, including ghosts, fairies and spiritualism, with sea serpents forming a craze that was a forerunner of the more modern lake monster phenomenon.
