Sealand of the Pacific was a public aquarium in Oak Bay, a suburb near the city of Victoria, in British Columbia, Canada. It was the site of the fatal 1991 drowning of Keltie Byrne, a part time orca trainer who slipped and fell into the whale pool after a show. The three orcas, Tillikum, Nootka IV, and Haida II, dragged and repeatedly submerged her until she drowned, despite other trainers' efforts to rescue her.
