“Upon another small island here,” Frobisher wrote, “was also found a great dead fish embayed with ice,
and was in proportion round like to a porpoise, being about twelve foot long, and in bigness answerable, having a horn of two yards long growing out of the snout or nostrils. This horn is wreathed and straight, like in fashion to a taper made of wax, and may truly thought to be the sea-unicorn.” - – Phenomena: The Loom
