Virgin Voyages make The Guinness World Record- largest gathering of MERPEOPLE!

 

What is the meaning of merpeople?

Merpeople are legendary water-dwelling human-like beings. They are attested in folklore and mythology throughout the ages in various parts of the world. Female merpeople are called mermaids and males are mermen.

 

Merpeople in Harry Potter

Merpeople were creatures resembling half-human, half-fish hybrids (though they are not, in actuality, half-breeds). Like humans, Merpeople came in a variety of appearances. For instance, the majority of the Black Lake Merpeople colony had green hair, yellow eyes, and grey skin. They also had mainly silver tails. It is very unlikely a human, or even other types of merpeople, would resemble that, proving that mermaids have individuality in their looks and races, and subspecies, just like humans. Merpeople also seem to be taller than humans, with seven feet appearing to not be an unusual height, at least for a selkie.

 

Previous world record

The largest gathering of people dressed as merpeople is 378, achieved by Pauline Barker and Devon and Cornwall Wild Swimming (both UK) in Plymouth, Devon, UK, on 2 June 2022.
