23 Rare Historical Photos Never Exposed Until Now

8. A Giant Manta

The enormous Manta Ray, or “devil fish” seen in this photo was actually real (well, at one point) and was caught by captain A.L. Khan on August 26, 1933. For three hours Khan and his crew reportedly battled with the giant sea creature.

If you think something smells fishy, it could be because this epic historical photograph actually features a taxidermist’s preservation of the massive catch. This giant sea creature was caught off the coast of New Jersey in 1933. It allegedly weighed more than 5,000 pounds!
