The Mermaid, Newport

In Newport, we enter another Mermaid Tavern. This one has:

writhing crabs in whicker baskets;
smells of roasting, frying, stewing, wine, beer and tobacco;
ships' captains and officers and business people;
souvenirs on the walls - floats, nets, weapons, a crocodile skull, a feather cloak, a mask of painted coconuts and seashells;
both body heat and kitchen heat;
smoke and noise;
a merchant reading the Newport Commercial Bulletin, subtitled Salve Lucrum, meaning "Hail, Profit."

This is another of the many fictional inns that we would like to visit.
