The Mermaids of Copenhagen

One of the most iconic images of Copenhagen is the "Little Mermaid". Based on a Hans Christian Anderson story, the statue was commissioned in the early 1900's by the Jacobsen family who founded the Carlsberg Brewery. 
The picture below is not the famous statue. This one is found about 100m up the wharf at an ice cream shop. It is less visited by tourists but much more likely to lure sailors into the rocks like they're supposed to.

Definitely NOT the "Little Mermaid"
