MERMAIDS OF THE SEA.......................

A MERMAID IS A MYTHOLOGICAL AQUATIC CREATURE WITH HUMAN HEAD AND TORSO, AND THE TAIL OF AN AQUATIC ANIMAL SUCH AS A FISH.

THERE HAVE BEEN SIGHTINGS OF DEAD AND LIVING MERMAIDS IN JAVA AND BRITISH COLUMBIA. THERE ARE TWO CANADIAN REPORTS FROM THE AREA OF VANCOUVER AND VICTORIA, THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO, THAT HAPPENED BETWEEN 1870 AND 1890, THE OTHER ONE WAS 1967.

IT IS TOLD THAT MERMAIDS WOULD LURE MEN TO THE SEA WITH THEIR SONGS. THE MEN BECOME SO ENCHANTED AND CHARMED THAT THEY NEVER RETURNED TO LAND AGAIN.

MERMAIDS WOULD SIT ON THE ROCKS AND COMB THEIR HAIR, THEY HAVE A TITLE OF "MERMAIDS IN HER VANITY."

THEY LOVE TO SING, AND THEY USE THE SHELLS AND THE CORAL OF THE SEA AS THEIR JEWELRY.

IT WAS SAID, CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS SAW 3 MERMAIDS IN THE OCEAN OF HAITI IN JANUARY, 1493 ON ONE OF HIS VOYAGES. HE SAID "THEY COME QUITE HIGH OUT OF THE WATER, BUT THEY WERE NOT AS BEAUTIFUL AS EVERYONE THOUGHT."

MERMEN..........................

LIKE A MERMAID THE MERMEN HAS A HUMAN HEAD AND TORSO.

HE HAS A FISH TAIL LIKE THE MERMAID.

MERMEN ARE HARDLY EVER SEEN, MERMEN HIDE IN THE DEEP DARK WATERS OF THE OCEAN SO HE WILL NOT GET CAUGHT BY THE MANY TRAPS THAT PEOPLE SET TO CAPTURE THEM. MERMEN ARE MORE SERIOUS AS THEY TAKE RESPONSIBILITIES TO PROTECT THE MEREPEOPLE VERY SERIOUSLY. BOTH MERMAIDS AND MERMEN DON'T HAVE ANY MAGICAL ABILITIES IN THEMSELVES, BUT THE KING CARRIES A TRIDENT THAT IS MAGICAL. THE KING OF THE SEA USES HIS TRIDENT PRIMARILY TO PROTECT THE MERFOLK.

MERMAID AND CHILD ..................................

THE MERMAIDS HAVE THEIR FUN PLAYING AND SWIMMING WITH THE DOLPHINS.

ARE THERE MERMAIDS? I REALLY DON'T KNOW, BUT I LIKE BELIEVING THAT THERE ARE.

I HOPE YOU ENJOYED MY BLOG ABOUT THE MERMAIDS, THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL, AND MYSTIFYING. LIKE I SAID, ARE THERE ANY MERMAIDS OUT IN OUR OCEANS? THERE MIGHT BE, BUT THAT'S UP TO YOU.
