The menu is printed on heavy stock paper and lists all of the great food items available to the crew including: shrimp cocktail, roast turkey, baked spice ham, giblet gravy, cream of tomato soup, sage dressing, cranberry sauce, snowflake potatoes, butter asparagus, vegetable salad, butter peas, sweet pickles, celery stalks, olives butter, bread and parker house rolls. To finish off this fantastic feast the menu lists ice cream, cocoa, and cigarettes.
The tender's mermaid insignia has been printed in the middle of the menu. She is surrounded by the small silhouettes of merbabies. This design was created by Disney artist Hank Porter in the spring of 1942.

I believe the mermaid had a name "Polly"
Hi Matt.
Yes, you are correct - the men gave her the nickname "Polly." Thanks for reminding me of that fact. Walter Elias Disney Miller told me recently he went to a special meeting of Pelias veterans a couple of years ago and they also told him of the mermaid's nickname.
