I really enjoyed the perspective over time, how changes in human history impacted the sirens. I don't know much about traditional mermaid mythology - when I've written mermaids/sirens myself, I reimagined the mythology somewhat, and mine also got immortality similar to yours (in that they can live forever, if they aren't killed off in some way - they don't die of "old age"). So I found that interesting. Funnily enough, though I considered revisiting my pirates for this prompt, which is the story I started my mermaid mythology in, I didn't consider writing mermaids myself!
Also, the way you describe your siren here reminded me a lot about this documentary I watched a few years back that speculated that mermaids were in fact real, and they had some minor video evidence where they looked somewhat similar to your description.
