The Captain And The Mermaids presents an unusual yet charming tale from the briny deep, where the admiration of mythical beings meets the vanity of man. Captain Capel Cleggs, known more for his decency than his stature, never anticipated that a simple habit—standing by his ship’s open port with his legs on display—would draw an audience. But there they gathered, the mermaids, lured not by siren songs this time, but by the curious allure of well-formed human legs clad in polished hose. To them, the…
