In this episode we continue looking at folklore, myths and legends relating to the sea by investigating the story of the Feejee Mermaid, an extraordinary tale of a 'real' mermaid that was discovered in Japan in 1822, purchased by a collector and displayed in London to the grotesque fascination of thousands of people. Dr Sam Willis speaks with Béatrice Laurent, Professor of Victorian Studies at the Université Bordeaux Montaigne in France. They discuss the reasons why people believe in mermaids in the nineteenth century and how the discovery of mermaids fitted in with religious and scientific thought at the time.

Can't we all just say mermaids are real and get on with it!? Kat covers the Feejee Mermaid! Ok, so it's not a mermaid but look at the monkey head sewn onto the fish tail and tell us it doesn't feel right. And speaking of things that don't feel right, Burt's Bees hurts mees! Hayley cannot mind her own beeswax, Kat is pushing 30… I mean, pushing 26, and Ingram Burt Shavitz was so vapid that he walked away from millions of sweet sweet lip balm dollars so he could live in a retrofitted bird coop.

Sometimes the titles to these things just write themselves. Oh, also: Jackalope Carnival adheres (harkens?) to many hidden sea shanties, but does it contain one? (at the end, after the closing theme song, say?)

In Episode 146, Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger head to the Stratford, Connecticut, coast by the Stratford Point Lighthouse in search of a mermaid sighting that was reported in great detail by lighthouse keeper Theodore Judson in July of 1915. Mermaid fever had gripped the region decades earlier thanks to another local Connecticut guy name P.T. Barnum who introduced the world to the Feejee Mermaid in the 1840s.

*Show Notes for Barnum’s American History Museum*Barnum museum The Barnum Museum was arguably the wonder of the world in the 1800’s. If you watched /The Greatest Showman/ you can get the filmmaker’s idea of what the Barnum’s American Museum was like. Unfortunately, I feel like they really missed an opportunity, as wonderful as the Greatest Showman was it missed the live whale, the performing grizzly bears, and the Feejee Mermaid so step right up and be amazed we are going back to 1841 to the marvel of the world: Barnum's American Museum*Barnum’s American Museum: The history of the museum itself*PT. Barnum’s project before he made a name in the circus was in New York on the Corner of Broadway and Ann street. In 1841 PT. Barnum bought Scudder's American Museum which began in 1781 and held general curiosities like: stuffed snakes, bison, and a forest scenes. If you listened to my episode on PT. Barnum you know he saw this as a jumping off point. He was also a bit sneak about how he went about getting the museum. Barnum arranged to become the manager of a competing museum called Peale’s Museum under the condition that Peale’s buys Scudder’s. He then went to Scudder’s on his own and negotiated if the deal with Peale’s museum fell through that Scudder’s would sell the museum to Barnum directly. Nice, no. But history does not exist to make us comfortable but to learn from. The first thing he did to the 5 story building was to change The exterior into a lime lit advertisement (a 5 Story tall advertisement). *Exhibits at Barnum’s American Museum*The museum opened on January 1, 1842 as a combination zoo, museum, lecture hall, wax museum, theatre, and freak show. If you want to get a small idea of what this was think The World’s Fair in one five story building. Thanks to existing playbills and advertisements here is an incomplete list of the attractions of Barnum’s American Museum • then were scientific instruments • Exotic Fossils • Relics of the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812 • Precious stones and coins • Modern appliances • Flea circus • Loom powered by dogs • Watch glass blowers • Fortune Tellers • Rifle range *Pretty baby contests • Ned the Learned Seal • Feejee Mermaid video tried to be a little scary if you click the link but it is a really good history. (This was a plan. If Barnum put the implausible in his museum it lead people to question if any of his exhibits were real leading to more people coming to the museum to check it out and decide for themselves. P.T. Barnum uses this tactic MANY times in his various careers from museum to politician to the circus.) *Cheng and Eng the Siamese Twins • A live Beluga whale in an Aquarium • Giants • Native Americans who performer tradition songs and dances • Grizzly Adams trained bears. • The bearded Lady,Josephine Clofullia, whose bears grew in when she was 8 years old • Adaptations of the bible and Uncle Tom’s Cabin • General Tom Thumb The Natural History part of the museum housed: • taxidermy • historical paintings• taxidermy (stuffing dead exotic animals, keep in mind zoos were not in every city this might be the only way to see a lion or elephant)• wax figures • and in the theatre Shakespeare and lectures.One of my favorite stories of the museum was that when Barnum realized people lingered too long at exhibits (making it hard to keep new people coming through) he put up signs saying “This Way To The Egress”. People thinking “egress” was a new and exciting exhibit quickly followed the signs only to find out “egress” was another word for exit. At the height of its popularity Barnum's American Museum had 15,000 visitors a day paying 25 cents a ticket. That is 15,000 people a day when the population of the United States was under 32 million. Even the Prince of Wales took time from his schedule to visit.*What Happened to Barnum’s American Museum*If you have been looking at the dates you might just notice in the dates that all of this takes place during a very tumultuous time in the United States, The Civil War. In November 1844 The war came to Barnum, who was a public abolitionist, when the Confederate Army of Manhattan tried but failed to burn down the museum. As a fan of history and museums I wish I could say much was learned about fire safety in the year but unfortunately The museum burned down in July 13,1865. Barnum tried again opening Barnum's New Museum September 6, 1865 but that also burned March 3, 1868.Never to be deterred Barnum used the last tragedy to step into politics and the circus industry.I say a million times history does not exist to make us comfortable. There is a lot about P.T.Barnum and his life that is not comfortable and does not sounds good when we look at it from our time in history. So why would I talk about him? I just had a conversation with my son about this. There are people in history who have imaginations so big they reshape our reality and what is possible. PT. Barnum is on of those people.Who from history can you think of who’s ideas reshaped our world?What GIANT idea do you have that you think could make a big change in the world as we know it?Comment below and I will read my favorites in the next episode.Thank you so much to listening to I Can’t Believe That Happened a history podcast for kids.

Barnum exhibited what he called the “Feejee Mermaid” at his American Museum in New York. The mermaid, created by joining the body of a fish to the head of a monkey, was plainly a fraud, but Barnum promoted it as the “most stupendous curiosity ever submitted to the public for inspection,” He employed phony experts to give lectures on its authenticity and other phony experts to denounce it as a fake, all in an elaborate, and successful effort to stimulate ticket sales. No doubt man, if not most, of Barnum's customers knew the whole thing was preposterous. But they enjoyed it anyway. “In the book “Humbug: The Art of P. T. Barnum,” biographer Neil Harris writes that Barnum based much of his career on his realization that people can take pleasure in being deceived, that they often find it quite entertaining. So it is with the American family, they are totally deceived. The deceptions that are being offered to their children are stronger than Barnum could have ever imagined. Moreover, there are armies of deceivers marching to the spirits of witchcraft and Satanism's band.
