Poor whale…
Yesterday night,
a dead big Finback Whale arrived at the port of Las Palmas stuck to the front bulb of a a ferrys’ bow. The Ferry named “Soroya” arrived at the port at this early morning from Tenerife, arriving previously from Cadiz. The cetacen, of an aproximate length of 20m and aproximately 17 tons of weight was already dead when it got hit by the ship.
As soon as the whale was detected during the tie up maneuveres the port authorities control group was alerted which also called a divers group to loose the whale from the ship tie it to the dock. At the morning hours then several tecnicians arrived to examine it.
