From The Saturn Room:

"Sip in style with our new mai tai glass featuring Tulsa’s favorite whale!"

This glass depicts The Blue Whale of Catoosa -- a beloved historic landmark along Route 66.

The Blue Whale was originally built by Hugh S. Davis, a zoologist and family man who envisioned the whale as a special place where his grandchildren could play and swim in the nearby pond. His sketches of the mammal grew until they reached 20 feet tall and 80 feet long. With the help of a friend, Harold Thomas, the duo spent two years welding the metal framework and applying the hand-mixed cement, one five-gallon bucket at a time.

After the whale's completion in July 1972, it attracted visitors from all over and became a place where people swam, fished and picnicked.
