On 6 September 2010 Karl Shuker announced that a hitherto-unknown photograph of Trunko had been discovered by German cryptozoologist Markus Hemmler on the website of the Margate Business Association, and Shuker recognised from this photo that Trunko had been nothing more than a globster, i. e. a massive, tough skin-sac of blubber containing collagen that is sometimes left behind when a whale dies and its skull and skeleton have separated from the skin and sunk to the sea bottom.

Perhaps the most surprising aspect of this revelation is that two photos of the Trunko carcass had been published in a mainstream magazine in 1925, yet had somehow been entirely overlooked afterwards by the zoological and cryptozoological community for the next 85 years.

Margate hit the world headlines in 1922 ( although this date is often disputed and stated as 1924 ) when an enormous, white, furry creature ( dubbed " Trunko " due to it having an elephantine trunk ) was washed up on the beach.

For this feature, the animal was dubbed " Trunko " by British cryptozoologist Karl Shuker in his 1996 book The Unexplained.

These close-up photos showed a classic globster, confirming Shuker's identification of Trunko, and clearly revealed its white ' fur ' to be exposed connective tissue fibres.

In March 2011, a fourth photograph of Trunko was discovered in the archives of Margate Museum in South Africa by Bianca Baldi.

Many suggestions have been made to explain this phenomenon, the most common explanation being that Trunko was the carcass of a large whale, basking shark, or whale shark, whose body's decay made it appear furry and that the orcas were feasting on its corpse.

Three days later, Shuker revealed that he and Hemmler had independently discovered two more photos of Trunko by Jones that had been published in the August 1925 issue of Wide World Magazine.

It has also been suggested that Trunko was a sighting of a strange-looking new species of huge whale, unknown pinniped, or sirenian.

but for this discussion the most important division is between those who have been reconstructed and those who haven't.

Had the situation been reversed, had, for instance, England been the enemy in 1898 because of issues of concern chiefly to New England, there is little doubt that large numbers of Southerners would have happily put on their old Confederate uniforms to fight as allies of Britain.
