That was the first image of "Nessie". That image is a hoax created by Robert Kenneth Wilson, a London gynecologist. It was published in the "Daily Mail" on 21 April 1934.
The whole Lock Ness "monster" thing is a complete hoax.
Time to let "Nessie" go.
The earliest report of a monster associated with the vicinity of Loch Ness appears in the Life of St. Columba by Adomnán, written sometime during the 7th century.[15] According to Adomnán, writing about a century after the events he described, the Irish monk Saint Columba was staying in the land of the Picts with his companions when he came across the locals burying a man by the River Ness. They explained that the man had been swimming the river when he was attacked by a "water beast" that had mauled him and dragged him under. They tried to rescue him in a boat, but were able only to drag up his corpse. Hearing this, Columba stunned the Picts by sending his follower Luigne moccu Min to swim across the river. The beast came after him, but Columba made the sign of the cross and commanded: "Go no further. Do not touch the man. Go back at once."[16] The beast immediately halted as if it had been "pulled back with ropes" and fled in terror, and both Columba's men and the pagan Picts praised God for the miracle.[16]

There's 1 problem if this is a sticker on the glass..
Can you see what it is?
If your daughter HAS been on this boat can you give me the name of it?

Take a boat tour of Loch Ness. I did and had a skipper that gave a pretty convincing argument that Nessy is for real. Complete with monitors, laser trackers and stories of underwater caves where Nessy hides will make a believer out of just about anybody. Small black stickers on the windows of the boat will let you get a picture with what appears to be the monstor just surfacing that you can show and try to convince your friends you saw the real thing if you're into that.

Ahhh.. here we go.
Not exactly the same decal but good enough for me to put it to bed.
I also have a couple of intriguing UFO images too taken at an RNLI boat show, I think they deserve their own thread though.

That might be the first photo of Nessie, but there were sightings long before cameras were even invented.

With all of our science, technology and instruments, you'd think there would be some legitimate image or video or corpse of one by now if they existed.

But the depth of Loch Ness could be the prime location for a legendary sea monster couldn't it?
Scotland was still in the grip of the ice twelve thousand years ago, but the main advances were over and the land was beginning to rebound from being depressed into the mantle. The surface of Loch Ness would have been at a similar elevation to sea level, but detailed and thorough examination of the sediments at the northwest end of the loch show no evidence for any incursion of the sea since the last ice age.
Anything living in Loch Ness today must have arrived from the freezing North Sea up the River Ness after the final retreat of ice, ten to twelve thousand years ago. This automatically eliminates certain Loch Ness monster candidates, primarily the reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates.
