In August, 1842 an English gentleman named "Dr. J. Griffin"
arrived in New York bearing a spectacular curiosity, a real mermaid.

He explained that he had acquired the mermaid in South America,
though it had been caught near the Feejee Islands,
and that he was on his way to England
where the mermaid would become part of the collections of the "Lyceum of Natural History."

However, because of the enormous interest the creature aroused in the New York public,
Dr. Griffin agreed to exhibit it for a week along
with other creatures that appeared to be hybrids of different species,
such as the duck billed platypus and flying fish.

Enormous crowds turned out to see the exhibit and to hear Dr. Griffin lecture on natural history.
After a week-long engagement,
the mermaid was then moved to the American Museum,
which had recently come under the proprietorship of P.T. Barnum.

The Mermaids of Juan Cabana

by Kim Bannerman

Mermaids exist in the twilight place between land and sea,
in the psychological intertidal zone between life-giver and life-taker.
Wanton, seductive and alluring,
these amphibious goddesses of classical myth toy unabashedly with a man抯 affections,
offering him sweetness yet bringing only death.

The paintings of the pre-Raphaelites portray mermaids as lovely maidens
with a silvery aquatic tail,
who comb their luxurious tresses in serene repose along a placid shore,
but the mermaids of old were neither so innocent nor demure.

With the sultry curve of their breasts and the dulcet darkness of their dreamy eyes,
those half-forgotten ocean deities promised to reveal the secrets of the unattainable fathoms,
only to drown men with their savage affection.

We are fascinated by mermaids because they represent the unknown,
the mystical, and the dangerous predator behind a graceful face.
Mermaids have captured our interest in the same way
in which they snared the hearts of sailors, dizzying us and disorienting us,
pulling us under the turquoise waves.

Many of the oldest stories claim that the merfolk have no tongues,
yet this doesn抰 keep them from casting their spell over the poor unfortunate
who falls in love with them;

one tale tells of a fisherman抯 daughter who becomes infatuated with a merman but,
when she discovers that he can never proclaim his love for her,
she follows him into the ocean, only to perish.

Some claim that mermaids still sing their wordless melodies,
playing amongst the waters and the waves. J

uan Cabana,
wandering the lonely shores of secluded beaches,
has often found the mortal remains of these creatures.

In life, they swim below the surface and rarely rise from the crushing deep,
but upon death,
the merciless storms cast their bodies up from the dark waters to deposit them on the white sand.
Juan knows the distant coves where the currents bring them,
and he gathers their remains with the hope of preserving them,
honoring them, and showing humanity
that we are not the only intelligent species on this beautiful planet.

These teratisms of terrible beauty, wild and exotic,
lie beyond the taint of human civilisation.

They live in harmony with their aquatic environment,
and Juan's respect for them has resulted in a never-ending search for mermaids
and sea monsters around the world.

Cabana抯 mermaids are no gentle pre-Raphaelite maidens.
These mermaids seduce us, not with their siren beauty,
but with parchment skin and haunted eyes.
Their allure lies in their hypnotic honesty.
Cabana's mermaids have been dredged from the stygian depths,
where the pressure and endless darkness breed spine-toothed monsters
and grotesque simian scavengers. T

hese creatures are the sisters and brothers of Barnum's Mermaid,
some crawling from the banks of a lagoon,
others laid out like wizened specimens in a laboratory.

They seethe with life,
they call to us with shrill tongues and crooked fingers,
they beg to drag us down into the abyss.

From the mid-ocean trenches and the bottomless channels they come.

Juan Cabana has captured mermaids, and his mermaids promise to enrapture you.

mermaid ni, sebenornya macam penzahiran/penjelmaan fizikal "bota laut" kot.

yang org dok nampak cantik tu khayalan mata kasar "illusion" dari si mermaid.
walhal mermaid tu dari cerita pelaut2 omputeh, buroks benar macam gambar2 yg sya tempek kat page 2.

kira mermaid ni macam pontianak lautlah... tapi ikut cerita dia tak besar macam org, kecik jer...

so, bila pelaut2 ni nampak pompuan ayu seksi dok melambai2 dgn iringan suara merdu..

depapun mai approached, kira mcm kena pukau, mandrem...

pastu mermaid pun jadikan depa mangsa, isap darah, korban laut.
