I remember an anecdote about a convention (probably in USSR? Russia?) where the meat shipment got hung up somewhere, so the locals were hired to hunt up (literally) enough meat. The food was delicious, everyone raved about it, turned out, they’d found a frozen mammoth and cut it up like Fred Flintstone’s takeout place. Not sure I believe this story, of course.
19th century billiard balls were sometimes carved of mammoth ivory from Alaska, I’ve heard. Scrimshaw of that era sometimes had that origin.

How far out to sea might a bloated body float before sinking?

Robert Redford again. I’d not seen that movie - lots to take in
Depends on whether it was dry land at the time. Glaciation came and went multiple times, and there have been a number of different “normal” sealevels as a consequence of that (sometimes more ice, sometimes less). Fossil shorelines can still be discerned here and there, some of which are due to those different sealevels.
It was a mammoth undertaking to recover it.
