Sailors of old used to tell tales of mermaids and sirens that called out to them from misty shores and shoals, enticing them to their doom as they traveled and drove their ships onto the rocks. These same stories have continued to this day, evolving and changing, but their core has never been lost. Nor the origin of these stories themselves, because it wasn't mythical monsters that called out and drove men mad. Instead, manatees and dugongs were responsible for many of the tales of sirens and mermaids and other mysterious mythical creatures of history.
