I liked the story but there's not a lot to say about this as it's a pretty straight forward monster story. It was probably a lot more frightening in 1895 when the sea was much more mysterious. Wells uses real town names in this story and that is probably a trick to make the story seem more realistic. As always with HG Wells, the story is well written and absorbing.

Wells is an excellent writer with a special way of spinning a tale. The actual town names must have made a reader back in the 1800's really take notice. Places to be avoided, or place for adventure. I did enjoy this story.

Today we will discuss The Sea Raiders by HG Wells
but...I am still always enjoying reading these stories as often as I can,
and reading all the discussion here. 🙂
And thank you again Taco Man, for all the links you post for us.
I know it's a great timesaving help for me,
and that it takes time to look for and find things like that....well...at least it is for me. 🙄 
Haven't had a chance to read this one yet, but will get to it when I am able.
You guys are great. 🙂  )

I didn't really like this story. A lot of fighting a mysterious creature in the ocean but nothing really happened. I guess you can say the humans won the battle but why?? I get the whole the ocean is a mysterious place at the time but seemed repetitious to me. Maybe would have been a more impactful in the time it was written.
