I live on the Gulf Of Mexico and can tell you that Mermaids were NOT considered a good thing by sailors of old.

In in sailors lore....They were considered Sirens (one who mesmerizes and tricks) and harbingers of doom to a sailing ship.

The Freeform channels drama show "Sirens" comes closest in pop culture to how old time sailors really felt about Mermaids.

Here's a trailer. ........ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=82NusegO1mQ
