The record

A third Ripley's holding, in the city the whole sixteen-section consignment was trucked to for distribution.

A section at the Orlando Ripley's, and the third of that company's holdings in this catalogue after Times Square and Niagara Falls. Orlando is where the whole consignment landed: Edward Meyer bought sixteen ten-foot sections shortly after 1989, roughly 40,000 lb in total, shipped by barge to Hamburg, freighter to New Orleans and then trucked here to be distributed around the attractions. One purchase accounts for three records on this map and an unknown number elsewhere.

How did it get here?

From the sixteen-section Ripley's purchase, originating in Waldemarstraße in Kreuzberg.
