Land and Sea

Land and Sea is a CBC Television progam about Newfoundland.  The latest episode is about the Whale Trail that was proposed for the central part of the Island.  A series of whale watching pavilions were to be constructed, with the skeleton of a different type of whale mounted in each one.  
Dinosaur Valley Studios was contracted to prepare the first two skeletons, and then the project stalled.  The first one was the skeleton of a Sperm Whale installed in Triton.  The second was the skeleton of a Humpback Whale installed in Kings Point.  We still have the skull of a Fin Whale stored in the shop in East Coulee, that was supposed to go to Middle Arm.  This television program outlines the project and discusses where things are at.  Hopefully this exposure helps to kick start the project and our company can get involved in building more whales...!  Here is a link to an article about the show, a photograph from it, and a link to the CBC Gem television show.
