The "sea monster" is a BASKING SHARK (click link for more info).

Notice the tiny skull and the huge mouth and gill area behind and underneath it. Now consider how a decaying basking shark carcass would look after the mouth and gill area sloughed off. This is why basking shark carcasses have been mistaken for carcasses of pleisiosaur-like creatures.
