Skana at the “boat show”?

What I read in databases, is that Skana moved temporarily, shortly after being caught in February 1967, to a boat or yacht show.

I used to assume the pictures of her in the tiny pool above are of her at that location. Strange though, since she was apparently only there for a few weeks, and there are so many good pictures (and she seems well-trained for having just met humans for the first time the month before).

Then I saw that bottom-left picture of Skana in the small pool, with the later pool (bottom-right) being built. So clearly, the first, tiny pool is also at Vancouver Aquarium.

So what’s this about a boat show? Anyone got more information? Are there any images? Maybe old newspaper prints, if someone knows a database (the boat show was in Vancouver).

L79 Skana catching a fish 2010 (Michael Colahan)

[orcinus-ocean]

The story goes that just after being caught in February 1967, Skana spent a few weeks at a "Vancouver boat show" before moving on to her final location at Vancouver Aquarium. I assumed these photos of her in a small pool, was that first location. But then this photo just came up:

And it definitely looks to be the same pool, while you can see her final pool at Vancouver Aquarium being built in the background (the one below).

So are there any photos of her at this "boat show"? And does anyone know how long she lived in this first pool at VanAqua, before the larger, curved pool was built?
