Cruise Ship Hits and Kills 70' Finback Whale
July 27, 2009 - Princess Cruise's 2,670 passenger Sapphire Princess docked in Vancouver last Saturday with a dead 70' fin whale wedged onto the bulb at the bottom of its bow. The ship's crew was unaware it had struck the whale until the ship was in port. Cruise ships travel in specified shipping lanes. The bulb helps to break the bow's entry into the water and reduces fuel consumption. The whale may have entered the shipping lanes in pursuit of food. Here's a video.
