Joe Ever hear anything at sea that might be the source of the legend of the Siren's song? I've heard & seen all sorts of wierd stuff, but never anything that sounded like beautiful women singing & playing harps... nor anything that looked like a mermaid either. The Hunter 19 had a mast prop on the stern that was an aluminum pole with a crutch at the top. It also had a hole thru it a foot or so down from the top. This hole would occasionally blow a series of notes (to the same harmonic), sometimes even two at once. The first time I heard it, it did sound like a flute in the distance. But I figured it out pretty quick... for one thing, it was behind us on both tacks ;) Fresh Breezes- Doug King |

Are they different than Sirens?
http://www.illusionsgallery.com/cave-nymphs-L.jpg Joe According to this site: http://www.theoi.com/Pontios/Seirenes.html Sirens are a type of sea nymph. It doesn't say much about what a sea nymph is. It does also state the a Siren has the body of a bird but the head or head and torso of a woman. I suspect that Mermaids, head and torso of a woman body of a fish, is also a sea nymph. I have read that the mermaid comes from lonely saiors seeing Manatees and making up stories of them being a beautiful woman. Girls must have been butt ugly back then. -- Message posted via http://www.boatkb.com |

But the truth of the matter is this, that there are narrow straits in the sea created by certain mountains in which the compressed rush of water sends up a sort of melodious lilt; when those who sail by hear it, they trust their lives to the rushing water and perish, with crews and ships ... I would really like to hear this one day. If anybody has any idea as to where this happens it might be nice to share so any cruisers out there might consider checking it out one day. -- Message posted via http://www.boatkb.com |
