'Connie' the life-size sperm whale

"Conny" is a life-size, 60-foot, ferro-cement model of a male Sperm Whale -- the only one of its kind anyplace in the world. It was built over a year's time in 1975-76 with 5,000 hours of volunteer labor by the Connecticut Cetacean Society (now Cetacean Society International -- CSI) on the grounds outside the Science Center of Connecticut, at 950 Trout Brook Drive, in West Hartford, Connecticut, USA.
