Cal., during the theme park era. Marineland Restaurant Cocktail Lounge " October 1956, Rancho Palos Verdes, California, USA --- Mamie Van Doren fills in well for the unknown but perfect figure being sought to fill a $2,500 Mermaid Tail at Marineland of the Pacific home of 5,000 fish. The movie actress isn't eligible in the contest to find some girl who can fill the bill. Mamie's 38-25-35 seems to do it. Besides all else, the winner must swim. Swim with 5,000 fish that is. " Downed Palm Alert!! Picture from a website going through the Marineland ruins. Somebody should get this baby and carve a commemorative Tiki from it. This is a quote from another website paying tribute to Marineland. "Marineland closed in December 1986 when Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, which owned Sea World in San Diego, purchased Marineland, ostensibly to continue to operate it. Their intent, however, was to purchase Marineland solely to acquire Corky and Orky, a successful breeding pair of killer whales." I remember watching the news on how they secretly moved Orky and Corky in the middle of the night, from the protesters.
