Congratulations to Tammy Isenhour of Sutherlin, OR, whose name was drawn from those who correctly answered "17" to last month's question: How old is Six Flags Discovery Kingdom's Orca Whale "Shouka"?

Tammy wins two (2) Vallejo Baylink Ferry Passes ($48.00 value).
Did you know that the Mare Island Museum is housed in the oldest remaining building on the former Naval Shipyard? Building 46 was built in 1855 and served as the shipyard's Pipe Shop until 1984.
   

Did you know in 2011 marks Six Flags Discovery Kingdom's 25th year in Vallejo. Before moving to Vallejo in 1986 the park (then known as Marine World Africa USA) was across San Francisco Bay in Redwood City.
