Old Ned

1893 sketch of Lake Utopia

Local legend says the lake is inhabited by a sea monsterknown as "Old Ned". The story goes that long ago two Maliseet Natives were canoeing on the lake when suddenly the monster appeared and chased them from one end to the other.citation needed 1 It has a decidedly long and bulky cetacean appearance, is described as a toothless herbivore,2 and may be representative of an unknown group of animals that travel back and forth between Lake Utopia and the Atlantic Ocean.

On July 28 1908, the crew of the schooner Madagasca reported they had seen a sea serpent in the Bay of Fundy near Cutler, Maine which is presumed to be related.2

It has drawn the attention of many writers.3
