The fable of the Mermaid of Edam (De Meyrmin Van Edam), as depicted by this wall plaque in the town of Edam, Holland, dates back to 1403. In a heavy storm in 1403 waves destroyed the Zuiderzee protective dykes and water came gushing in to lake Purmermeer. and brought along with it a mermaid. When the storm calmed down, the dykes were quickly repaired and the Mermaid became trapped within lake Purmermeer. The Mermaid was often sighted by the two milkmaids (depicted on the plaque) on their way to milk their cows. As time passed the Mermaid and milkmaids became accustomed to seeing each other. Then one day, the mermaid came really close to their boat and the milkmaids saw an opportunity. They pulled the mermaid on board and took her back to Edam. The people from Edam then raised her as a human being. It was realised that she had a longing for the sea, and so she remained well guarded, so her escape would be difficult. Word spread of her existence and people came to visit Edam just so they could witness the so-called, Sea- Woman (Zeewijf). The powerful city of Haarlem made it known they wanted her to live in their city, so Edam presented the Mermaid to them as a gift. Haarlem gave her a home on the Grote Houtstraat and taught her to use the spinning wheel but she never adjusted to enable her speak freely with locals living nearby. During her lifetime she often went to church and had the habit of making a cross. The local people were convinced she had an affinity with the christian faith as she was often seen at church. At the end of her life she was buried as a christian.
