Monkeys and Mayhem on the Sea and Shore
Anecdotes of pet monkeys aboard ships and at Bath reveal how vengeance and mischief drive interactions with humans. From a sailor’s pet who steals rations and courts punishment to a nobleman’s yacht companion, stories show clever primates provoking reactions, escape, and comic chaos across distant shores.
Monkey Mimicry and Mischief Feature in Curious Tales
A Victorian tale recounts a clever monkey sneaking aboard a party boat to steal a crab and harm a young woman, then mimicking a admiral reading from a newspaper to amuse his mistress. It notes monkeys’ keen observation, possible training as athletes or acrobats, and a sailing monkey trained by an Italian count who later drowned after capsizing a boat. The article ponders future utility of trained monkeys in tasks like jockeying and performances.

In a lecture to the League for Polletten Education last Saturday George Haven Putnam recounted an early copyright tale from 507. Columba the Irish monk allegedly copied a Benedictine manuscript after being refused permission, aided by a phosphorescent left hand and a sacred stork that signaled approval by pecking at a keyhole eye. The tale ends with the peeper being injured, blamed on sorcery and optical surgery.
