Flipper and the Elephant: Part 1 - S1-E24

Continuity mistake: Simpson is trying to pull a baby elephant onto his boat when the rope snaps, causing him to fall into the water port side. You can see the end of the broken rope going with him. Next camera angle, the rope is wrapped around the cleat and Simpson is being towed behind the stern. (00:18:55)

Gift Dolphin - S2-E23

Deliberate mistake: After Bud overhears the plans for Flipper, he decides to hide his dolphin. When he boards the skiff, there are two flipped wide shots before they head out. Note the reversed dock, launch, and "Whaler" on the skiff.
