EDITORS COMMENTS
Feeding Time at Marineland, Florida, USA: A Captivating Moment in Marine Studies (circa 1938) This evocative photograph captures the essence of a bygone era at Marineland, an oceanarium nestled in the heart of St. Augustine, Florida. Established in the late 1930s, Marineland was one of the first facilities dedicated to the exhibition and study of marine life in the United States. In this image, a man in casual attire holds out a fish towards a curious dolphin, its sleek body gliding gracefully through the water. The dolphin's keen interest in the offering is palpable, its eyes fixed intently on the man and the fish. The scene is a testament to the unique bond that can form between humans and these intelligent marine mammals. The photograph is further enlivened by the presence of spectators, who gather around the edge of the pool, their faces filled with awe and excitement. Dressed in fashionable 1930s attire, they bear witness to this fascinating display of nature, their expressions mirroring the wonder and appreciation felt by generations since. Marineland's mission during this era was to promote public awareness and education about the natural world. This image encapsulates the spirit of discovery and exploration that characterized the early days of marine studies. It serves as a reminder of the enduring connection between humans and the ocean, and the importance of preserving and protecting these magnificent creatures for future generations to enjoy. This photograph, taken circa 1938, is a historical snapshot of a time when the wonders of the sea were still largely unexplored, and the world was captivated by the beauty and mystery of the underwater realm.
