The Yarmouth Mermaid is a legendary mermaid that is said to inhabit the Isle of Wight in England. According to local folklore, the Yarmouth Mermaid was first seen in the late 18th century and has been sighted several times since then. She is described as a beautiful young woman with a long tail and shimmering silver scales. Legends say that she has been seen playing with dolphins and swimming around vessels in the harbor. Though her presence is said to bring good luck, she is also associated with rough seas and caution should be taken when sailing near her.
