Initial data
Lucas Debes was a priest of the Lutheran Church near the Islands of Denmark in the Faroe Islands. He writes a report of what he saw, saying
"There was seen... by many residents... a mermaid by the shore... she had long hair on her head that went down to the surface of the water around her. She was holding a fish... in her right hand ."
There aren't many contexts, but a man of God would never lie, right?
These true stories of mermaids may have inspired Hans Christian Anderson to later write the classic tale of a little mermaid born in Denmark.
Original news
1670 BY REV. LUCAS DEBES
Lucas Debes was a Reverand for the Lutheran Church just off the Islands of Denmark in Faroes. He writes an account of what he saw saying
“There was seen . . . by many of the inhabitants . . . a Mer-maid close to the shore . . . She had long hair on her head, which hung down to the surface of the water all round about her. She held a fish . . . in her right hand.”
It’s not a lot of contexts, but a man of God would never lie, right?
These real mermaid stories could have possibly inspired Hans Christian Anderson to later write the classic tale of the little mermaid as he was born in Denmark.
