Yes. They have been found and referenced in many an ancient mariner's log. They were/are commonly called, "dugong."
"The name dugong originated from the Malay language duyung meaning lady of the sea or mermaid."

All urban legends come from some kind of story with a little fact in it. What kind of stoners hundreds of years ago could have come up with a mermaid??

Found one in a can of sardines once. Needless to say she wasn't in real good condition. Sniffy our cat ate the whole thing. Should I have turned it over to science instead?

There are some written accounts of that fact. That seem to make sense or could be true. But lest just say that in recent time no one will ever share that type of imformation with the general public............................

no, the mermaid myth came from a birth defect where people are born with their legs attached other than that it's all myth

If there has been, it's not common and public information.
