ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. — Tropical Storm Nicole did a lot of damage and took a lot away from the St. Augustine community, but the storm also gave something back.
Metal signs directing traffic to Marine Studios, the old name for what is now Marineland, were unearthed during the storm. Marineland says they are from the 1930's to mid 1940's, based on the logo.
The signs were found on the Northeast side of the Matanzas Inlet.
Marine Studios was the name of the oceanfront park at the time that the Revenge of the Creature, the sequel to Creature of the Black Lagoon, was filmed. In the movie, the park was the set for the Ocean Harbor Oceanarium.
