The Mermaid and The Fisherman


Copyright Ruth Seeley

On a brief trip to Granville Island today I noticed the life-size statues of a mermaid and a ship's captain outside a store called The Walrus and The Carpenter. This is a proud, lovely, and successful mermaid. The accompanying statue of the captain shows him holding the tiller but otherwise empty handed - distracted, no doubt, by the enigmatic smile he'd received from the mermaid.
