Whale Wedged on Cruise Ship Bow
A rare whale was discovered wedged on to the bow of a cruise ship when it docked in a Canadian port.
The 70ft fin whale, a threatened species in Canada, was found when the Sapphire Princess docked at the Port of Vancouver, the cruise company said.
It said it had "strict whale avoidance" measures and it was unclear where, when or how the whale became stuck.
Tourists looked on as the dead whale was examined by fisheries department staff.
The cruise ship had arrived from Alaska about 0630 local time on Saturday...........

Damn shame, be interesting to see what they find....was it already dead or alive when it hit the boat.
I would think with a proper autopsy of the whale they could estimate how long it has been dead at the very least.
they claim they didn't know about it. i am hoping it was dead FIRST
Merciful Goddess I hope so.
