The Feejee Mermaid was supposedly a preserved mermaid allegedly caught in 1842 by a "Dr. J. Griffin". Griffin was actually Levi Lyman, a close associate of P.T. Barnum. The exhibit was shown around the United States, but was lost in the 1860s when Barnum's museum caught fire. It most likely was the work of Indonesian craftsman using papier-mâché and materials from exotic fish.
