- Pregnant whale found dead on bow of cruise ship, authorities say
A pregnant fin whale was found dead on the bow of the Royal Caribbean cruise ship Ovation of the Seas in Alaska. A necropsy indicated blunt force trauma consistent with a vessel strike as the likely cause of death, though the official determination awaits further testing. The whale's carcass will be towed out to sea to decompose.
