Environmental impact of nuclear weapons testing

It's very easy to determine what the impact of nuclear weapons testing did to the inhabitants of the Bikini Islands. They were moved away from that atoll as it was no longer safe for human habitation. The government had no choice but to admit that as it was there for all the world to see. However, there is an untold story here and it involves the now likely extinct Conners Whale.

Some background information...............

Sebastian Conner was actually a botanist by trade but was also quite the adventurer in the late 1800s. In 1886 he funded the construction of a tri-masted sailing vessel with which he was to find a new route from Longboat Key, Florida to Bend, Oregon. In 1888 his vessel was completed and christened the Grand Faux Pas. After some trials and fine tuning the GFP was ready to sail in 1890.

It was an early hurricane season that year and Sebastian nearly called his voyage off halfway across the Gulf of Mexico. However, he caught sight of a most unusual school of fish. We now know it to be a pod of whales. He followed the fish to the coast of Panama where they suddenly disappeared. After anchoring he sent a landing party ashore in an effort to solve the mystery. It seems there was an underwater cave there and the whales had escaped into the Pacific Ocean.

Undaunted, Conner quickly had his crew harvest as many banana peels as possible and he made a portage with the GFA in order to pursue the unusual fish. This is the only time a tri-masted vessel has ever portaged across Panama. The route taken was later selected as the course for the Panama Canal.

Once in the Pacific Conner and crew made haste and were on the whales in no time. He noticed them swimming back and forth but did not know what to make of it. After several weeks journey they arrived at the Bikini Atoll. It seems the unusual swimming was a mating ritual and the Bikini Islands were the mating grounds of these whales. Conner studied them there for about a month and named them Conners Whales. Whether they were toothed or baleen whales we may never know as the GFP and all hands were lost on it's return voyage. A small chest with a ships log belonging to the GFP was recovered in 1895 or we might not know this story at all.

Fast forward to the Cold War Era........... The nuclear tests done in Bikini happened at the exact time of the Conners Whales mating season. So those whales not immediately killed were rendered sterile and the species is not known to exist anywhere else in the world. Since they are close in size to the Narwhal and have been known to frequent freshwater it is possible that this is what people are seeing in Loch Ness. A relic population of Conners Whales.
