For Centauries,

we have been fascinated by mermaids,


photographs sueattalla, going back thousands of years the allure of a scanty dressed half woman/fish has lured sailors to their doom, the earliest stage mention of them I could find took place in the New York Hippodrome in 1906/7, featuring an 8,000-gallon tank full of underwater dancers,


who later stared in Queen of the sea, as it happens Annette Kellerman's achievements are awe-inspiring, from swimming champion to movie star, 

Kellerman's international success led to Esther Williams portraying her in the 1952 Hollywood biopic Million Dollar Mermaid

and now the live-action version of The Little Mermaid has made $118 Million so far in its opening weekend, we find mermaids so fascinating, to read more about mermaids, have a look here.
