The Big Duck is a ferrocement style building in the shape of a duck. The building is well-known for its distinctive appearance. This structure inspired the word "duck" to be a common phrase in academic literature used to refer to buildings shaped like everyday objects or describe excessive ornamentation used in graphical presentations of data.


It was originally built in 1931 by duck farmer Martin Maurer and used as a shop to sell ducks, dairy, and duck eggs. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1997. It is a principal building on the Big Duck Ranch, listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2008.

Long Island Aquarium (formerly Atlantis Marine World) is an aquarium that opened in 2000 on Long Island in Riverhead, New York, United States.


One of its biggest attractions is a 20,000-US-gallon (76,000 L) coral reef display tank, which is one of the largest all-living coral displays in the Western Hemisphere.


The classical theme of the aquarium's entrance, along with many areas inside, draw inspiration from the lost city of Atlantis.
