Got even hit by a steam ship with noticeable effect in one short story, if I remember correctly. Such wimpyness, indeed. In the original novel. But steamboat might be the most powerful machine H.P. Lovecraft could phantom . But as I said, Cthulu is relatively a pussy cat.
If I remember correctly, in another story, *not* by H.P. Lovecraft himself, the British navy used a massive explosive device (not mention specifically but probably ananlogue to an A-bomb) to put him to sleep once again in the Southern Pacific (near Singapore?) .
