Henry Hudson is a famous English Navigator who traveled all over the world. He writes in his diary;

"This morning one of our companions, looking over the side, saw a mermaid, and calling one of the company to see her, another came up, and at this tune she came to the side of the ship, looking earnestly at the men: a little after the sea came and turned the ship over. 

Up her back and chest were like a woman's, as they say, who saw her: her body is as big as one of us,her skin was very white, and her long hair hung back in black. On her descent, they saw her tayle, which was similar to the tayle of porpos and speckled like a mackerel.
