Initial data
This is probably the most notable phenomenon when mermaids were seen in the 19th century. On the shores of the Kei Islands in Indonesia, Japanese soldiers noticed several mermaids . One of these mermaids was spotted on the beach, which gave the soldiers enough time to get detailed descriptions, such as:
"Approximately 4 feet 9 inches (144.7 cm), pinkish skin, human face and limbs, spikes on the head and mouth like a carp."
Later, a Sargent named Taro HORIBA heard news of a dead mermaid on the shore and tried to investigate the case. He encouraged scientists to study mermaids, but failed to convince the scientific community of the validity of these observations.
