Cruise Ship Confirmed As Killer Of Humpback Whale
- "The National Park Service has confirmed that it was a cruise ship that killed an endangered pregnant humpback whale in Alaska's Glacier Bay N.P says the Anchorage Daily News 9/26. The whale, which died "instantly" when its skull was crushed, was found floating within park boundaries and has been the subject of a "criminal investigation." The NPS refused to name the cruise line or "say if charges would be filed."
