Initial data
We all know the story of Pocahontas and John Smith, but did you know that he also saw mermaids?
While sailing off the coast of Massachusetts, he writes:
"The upper part of her body was exactly like a woman's, and she swam with all possible grace near the shore." He had "large eyes, rather too round, a beautifully shaped nose (a little too short), regular ears, rather too long, and long green hair gave her an original character, not at all unattractive."
There are skeptics who say John Smith never wrote it, and it was a newspaper trying to bring the text to life for viewers.
Original news
1614 BY CAPTAIN JOHN SMITH
We all know the story of Pocahontas and John Smith, but did you know he also saw mermaids?
While sailing off the coast of Massachusetts, he writes
“the upper part of her body perfectly resembled that of a woman, and she was swimming about with all possible grace near the shore.” It had “large eyes, rather too round, a finely shaped nose (a little too short), well-formed ears, rather too long, and her long green hair imparted to her an original character by no means unattractive.”
There are skeptics who say that John Smith never wrote this and it was a paper trying to spice up the writing for the viewers so you tell me! What do you think?
