"The third capture for display occurred in June 1965 when a fisherman found a 22-foot (6.7 m) male orca in his floating salmon net that had drifted close to shore near Namu, British Columbia. The killer whale was sold for $8,000 to Ted Griffin, a Seattle public aquarium owner. Named after his place of capture, Namu was the subject of a film that changed some people's attitudes toward orcas. A few months later, Griffin procured a companion for Namu: a very young, 14 foot (4.25 m) , 2000 lb (900 kg) orca captured off Penn Cove, Puget Sound, Washington. Shamu means 'Friend of Namu' (alternately 'She-Namu'). However, Shamu did not get along with Namu and so was sold to SeaWorld in San Diego in December 1965.
