Mermaid Makes a Splash at Petaluma Pool

Rebecca MacKay, maker of Mermaid Swim Tails, take a dip while in town for Petaluma Historical Museum's new exhibit "Pirates: Legends and Lore"

Rebecca and husband Jeff MacKay live in Portland, Oregon, where they make a living being pirates. Or rather, pirate artisans and re-enactors. 


Jeff MacKay is the Master Hatter of Captain Jack's Pirate Hats, which since 2003 has been making high quality, handcrafted Pirate Hats in wool felt. Meanwhile, Rebecca MacKay writes and illustrates a series of childrens' Little Pirate Books and makes mermaid tails, like the ones she shows off here.
