"Smith, John"

 
 
 Smith, John (detail)
   
1614?
[Title?]
–"In 1614, Capt. John Smith encountered [a manatee] in the Caribbean and described it as 'by no means unattractive,' adding that he'd 'begun to experience the first effects of love." One wonders what Pocahontas, who'd saved his life seven years earlier, thought of this." (From "The big mermaids" by John Flinn, Staff Writer, The San Francisco Chronicle [Calif.], Sunday, Oct. 14, 2007.)
