Geocache Description:

Mermaids is the seventh in a series of Mystical Beings. A nano cache along North Avenue. Please use extreme stealth!!!

MYSTICAL BEINGS
Mermaids
A mermaid is an aquatic creature with a female human head and torso and the tail of a fish. Mermaids have a broad representation in folklore, literature, and popular culture.
Much like sirens, mermaids sometimes sing to people and gods and enchant them, distracting them from their work and causing them to walk off the deck or run their ships aground. Other stories depict them squeezing the life out of drowning men while attempting to rescue them. They are also said to carry humans down to their underwater kingdoms. In Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid, it is said that they forget that humans cannot breathe underwater, while others say they drown men out of spite.

This Mermaid public art piece, tells the history of the site and neighborhood. She is emerging from a shell (a Shell gas station once occupied site), she is dressed in an 1812 uniform for the buried soldiers (the site served as a supply depot and cemetery supporting the artillery battery) and holds a teapot modeled on the many found on the site. Her hair is made of fish referring both to the lake and to Ray's Seafood, a business that is now gone.
Sculptor : Leslie Fry
