Un tauró a la Tarragona de 1787


Aquest gravat de Charles A. Barry descriu el "peix meravallós" d'onze tones (!) capturat el 3 d'agost de 1868 prop d'Easport (Maine, EUA). A la premsa de l'època també va ser descrit com a "monstre", "animal estrany", "part bèstia i part home", etc. Salvats els elements que per a nosaltres resulten més fantasiosos, i que podem apreciar en el gravat, publicat al "Harpers Weekly" de 24 d'octubre de 1868, s'ha identificat aquest peix amb un tauró pelegrí. El tauró pelegrí no és aliè a les aigües de Tarragona. El 1787 se'n va capturar un exemplar, no tan fabulós com el del gravat. Sobre el tauró de Tarragona  podeu llegir l'article que dóna el tret de sortida a la secció Abatre veles, que publicaré al digital DelCamp.cat, i que si tenen temàtica marítima aniré compartint en aquest blog. Aquí va l'enllaç:
