Sea Hag first appeared in 1929 and is not only one of the central enemies of Popeye, she is the oldest of his adversaries. She is the last witch on earth, and a pirate who sails the Seven Seas in her boat “The Black Barnacle”. She also has a deep knowledge of magic artifacts and has used many of them to great effect over the years. She is able to practice Voodoo magic and is powerful enough to capture the equally magical Eugene the Jeep—and on one occasion, Santa Claus! She can alter her appearance to that of her alter ego Rose of the Sea.
She had several pet vultures, but her chief vulture was named Bernard. She also commanded an army of Goons. The most famous of the Goons was Alice. This statue was dedicated in 2010.
Bernard the chief vulture, appeared in the comic in the 1930’s and is Sea Hag’s helper. Sea Hag’s magic flute prompts Bernard to perform her evil deeds.
