I have been digging through old newspapers and I came across mention of the "Wimpus", alleged to be half human half fish. The skeleton was apparently found off the coast in China.
The only known photograph appeared in the article Were There Really Mermaids? Dubuque Telegraph Herald. June 17, 1917. As far as I know I am the first person to discover this photograph and upload it online publicly. The photograph was taken in Florida and is long out of copyright. How the skeleton got from China to Florida is not made clear.
If you search online for Wimpus and mermaid, Loren Coleman blogged on this way back in 2008 but he never had the photograph. He had a different newspaper clipping than the ones I have read.

I present to you all, the photograph here
Also attached is a newspaper clipping I found. Typical response will be a silly hoax but just thought I would share it. It is sad the wimpus has been neglected for so long. There is no mention of it in any cryptozoology or mystery books.
