At the time, these orcas and their exploits were a media sensation. Numerous newspaper stories told their saga, and members of the Australian Parliament came out to Eden to watch, along with hundreds of other spectators. One of the first documentaries ever committed to film, a 35-mm feature shot in 1910, recorded the killer whales in action. All prints of the film, other than a few stills, were reportedly lost in a vault fire in 1916.
