Chessie
Found in the Chesapeake Bay and like many other lake monsters has a name that is a reference to the Loch Ness Monster, Nessie. The first known sighting is from 1936, accounted by the crew of a military helicopter who described the creature as “Something reptilian and unknown in the water.”
There’s also a manatee named Chessie that was rescued from Chesapeake Bay Area back in 1994.
