    It was kind of the Titanic to provide a ballroom for the mermaids

    It’s true, though. Everyone adores the seashell bra wearing sexy shallow water mermaids, but the deep sea eldritch horror mermaids need love, too.

    Are these real? I cannot validate these quotes and never heard of this before. Image searches reveal only a single Tumblr source of the images. I don’t have access to really any paper databases this old though.

    EDIT: Seems legit!

      Actually I was able to fact check this in a matter of literal seconds.

      edit: clearer example from a different article. Lots of sites have a paywall, but you can usually see enough to verify that everything lines up. The library of congress has a lot of old newspapers (for now), but I wasn’t able to find any of these there yet
