Description
A colour slide showing a seal going down a slide with a man watching. The sea is visible in the background. This has been identified as Marineland which was on Moturiki Island, Mount Maunganui. Sea elephants arrived at Marineland in 1967 from Campbell Island. Recorded by photographer as ‘Seal on slide.’ "Visitors to Mount Maunganui will soon find an interesting new attraction to claim their attention. Some months ago we reported the start of work on the new Seaquarium. Today work is rapidly nearing completion and it is hoped that the project will be finished in good time for the holidays." Bay of Plenty Photo News, 15 October 1966
