Tidepieces - Coney Island Mermaid Tide Clock - Black Flat Panel

Product Features

• Exclusively available only from Mellow Monkey
• Handcrafted by local artisan, Alan Winick, this tide clock has the image of Coney Island, a peninsular neighborhood and entertainment area in the southwestern section of the New York City borough of Brooklyn, with a tide that rises and falls as the actual tide in your location goes from high to low, and reveals a beautiful mermaid laying in the sand.

  • The origin of Coney Island's name is disputed, but the area was originally part of the colonial town of Gravesend. By the mid-19th century it had become a seaside resort, and by the late 19th century, amusement parks had also been built at the location.

  • The attractions reached a historical peak during the first half of the 20th century. However, they declined in popularity after World War II and, following years of neglect, several structures were torn down.

  •  Various redevelopment projects were proposed for Coney Island in the 1970s through the 2000s, though most of these were not carried out. The area was revitalized with the opening of the venue now known as Maimonides Park in 2001 and several amusement rides starting in the 2010s.

• Tide clock has a black frame with dual faced clock.
• Bottom of clock provides the traditional tide clock showing current tide. Dial provides hours to high tide and to low tide.
• Top of clock is what makes this time piece truly unique.  A mechanically animated display of the waterline rises and falls as the tide goes from high to low.
