Giant Octopus Victory!

“Giant Octopus Victory!” black and white scrimshaw on ancient mammoth tusk ivory slab by David Adams. Crewmen have abandoned the doomed ship. The giant octopus has begun to crush the unfortunate vessel. Tales will be told if the crew are fortunate enough to encounter another vessel. Excellent work by Adams. Quite different from the usual format of scrimshaw. Rare flat slab of mammoth ivory perfect for this composition.
