MIDDLEBURY, Conn. - The elusive Lake Quassapaug sea monster has resurfaced after disappearing nearly 40 years ago. The sea monster, also known as a hippocampus among carousel enthusiasts, was stolen from Quassy Amusement Park on Nov. 16, 1985, and its whereabouts were unknown until late December of last year.
Now the rare hand-carved figurine is back in the hands of the family-owned lakeside property thanks to a handful of collectors who have watched for the missing artifact all these years.
"We have gotten a priceless piece of our history back," an ecstatic Quassy President Eric Anderson said of the saga. "It was the lead figurine on the carousel - one everybody wanted to ride," added the park's George Frantzis II.
