230 In this connection it may be worth noting casually that an Atlantic walrus appeared in the sea off Cape Ann–far south of its recorded occurrence in historic times at Sable Island—during the week of June 18, 1937, and was seen and photographed at Rockport, Massachusetts. The animal was seen by Artell Ceowley of the Straitsmouth Life Saving Station on the Sandy Bay breakwater, while on his watch. He observed it through his telescope and called Walter Church. They observed it for half an hour during which time they could note the tusks. An estimate of its weight made a minimum of 1000 pounds. It was also observed on the rocks at Thatchers Island and an attempt was made to shoot it (information reported by Reinhard S. Speck).
