Our newest mermaid sighting! This handcrafted whirly gig mermaid whirls and twirls at the whim on the wind atop a sign created to remind you to slow down…….. She lives in front of the Enlisted Men’s Mess Hall directly behind Officier’s Row. John Mellancamp and family are her neighbors and the home right in front of the mess hall is called “Tara on Tybee.” The lighthouse shines above her and she’s happy as can be.
Shorty of Shorty’s Woodcrafts created her by hand in Bethany Beach, Delaware- he’s a 80+ year old former Ice Capades skater- read all about his fascinating life!
