Trivia

The name Cormoran appears in Cornish folklore. He was a giant who lived in a cave on St. Michael's Mount off Cornwall's southern coast. 18ft tall he used the low tide to access the countryside and pillage the local community until he met his match in "Jack the Giant-Killer", a trapping pit and a mattock (pickaxe).
