Titan Turtle

circa 1952: A Green Sea Turtle is carried on the shoulders of a swimmer to be shown off and then returned to the water or else made into soup. A pastime amongst swimmers in Mexican waters is to catch the turtle without harming them by sneaking up behind them and turning them upside down to render them helpless.
