Sailors & Mermaids

... OR Mermaids & Sailors ... They go well together !! I pursue these two subjects in Art, Literature, Film, Music, Antiques & Collectibles and the Decorative Arts. I will curate things here from my collections and other items from the internet that I find appealing to me. ... I enjoy all things related to the "Seven Seas", which of course, is the domain of both Mermaids and Sailors. This may include oceans, islands, ports & harbors, beaches, sea creatures, and classic sailing ships, to name a few. ... So, relax and enjoy the sometimes wild, but always wet, world of Sailors & Mermaids !! ... "Real Sailors Have a Mustache and Smoke A Pipe" ... "Once A Sailor, Always A Sailor" ... "Real Mermaids Do Not Wear A Bra !!" ... [Therefore, occasional female nudity will appear here !] ...
