Sealand of the Pacific

These are pictures my father took at a show at Victoria's Sealand of the Pacific in the fall of 1971. I'm not positive which whale is pictured. It might be Nootka, who was captured in 1970, but my guess is it's probably Haida. It's not Tilikum, the most infamous of the Sealand whales, who wasn't captured until 1983.

Puffins!

Puffins are rare in these parts, so rare that I've never seen one in the wild. But obviously, there were a few hanging around Willows Beach in 1971 where Dad took this photo. Or perhaps not. A reader believes these puffins are from the old Sealand of the Pacific marine attraction, and I think she might be right. I found some other pictures from the same period from Sealand, and they will appear here one day in the future.
