 Whale dies after being hit by ship
Scientists examine carcass of whale hit by ship Vessel apparently struck 70-ton fin whale and unknowingly carried it It wasn't a pretty sight, but whale watchers on a cruise ship in Canada got more than they bargained for when they arrived at the port of Vancouver — a dead whale stuck to the bow.
The vessel apparently struck the 70-ton fin whale in the ocean and unknowingly carried it wedged to the bow from Alaskan waters to the Canadian port. The adult whale was an estimated 70 feet long.
The Princess Cruise Lines' Sapphire Princess was docked at the Canada Place terminal Saturday with the whale stuck to it. for more details Scientists examine carcass of whale hit by ship - Science- msnbc.com ---------------------------------------------- |
