Water ships and giant squid

[Ethanadams]

Could a giant squid named the KRAKEN actually rip apart a frigate ship in the 1800s?

[Uncle Mort]

No, it was Captain Nemo in the Nautilus.

I believe it was from the movie "clash of the titans" the original not the recent remake that was worse then the 1980's film

Scene is near the end and start the kraken is the sea titan that Poseidon releases on the city and the plucky virgin sacrifice

[pincushionman]

From Clash of the Titans, as KandoKris said. Retelling of the Greek story of Perseus.

…although the Kraken is a legend from northern Europe, not Greece.

And while everybody thinks the Kraken is an octopus or a squid, in the very earliest tellings it was more of a mad cross between a giant crab and a whale.
