Photograph caption dated November 5, 1963 reads, "Marineland of the Pacific Monday unveiled the first pseudorca whale ever caught alive on the open sea. The 11-foot, 3-inch whale, named Swifty, went on public display and exhibited a precocious behavior and unexpected docility despite her ferocious appearance. She joined Bubbles and Buttons in the top-deck whale show where, within a few days, it was expected she will be jumping some 15 feet out of the water. The unusual whale was caught Oct. 10."
