Pirates n' mermaids have an extenisve history of bein' associated with each other- I think because both love the sea, one lives on top of it n' the other live below it. There have been the many myths of siren's calling sailors to their death. These tails have been around fer a long time, n' it seems like with most stories, the longer the time frame the stronger belief in the myth. Pirates n' mermaids make fer some great storytelling. Half of all Pirate Festivals now feature mermaids, n' most Renaissance Festivals feature days fer pirates n' mermaids. It seems that the future holds even more oppertunity fer pirates n' mermaids, as mermaiding as a hobby and career has become more accessible n' popular.

We as a Krewe also have a long history with mermaids. In 2013 Tiger featured a mermaid in his Hot Pirate Babes calendar. We also created Sirena Roger, the little sister of Molly Roger, n' she has has become one of arrr most popular women's t-shirt designs. During the black plague, Tiger n' the Krewe built a tiny pirate boat n' named her the Golden Mermaid. As Tiger made his move to the Azore islands to start his retirement business that focuses on longivity fer single senior, he decided to name the house the Vila of the Golden Mermaid after his boat, which he plans to take with him when the time is right. As pirates we arrrr always looking fer the Fountain of Youth- hopefully with Tiger's new facilities he's found every Old Seadog's ultimate goal- good health n' a grand time (n' maybe some mermaids.)
