1 week agoDodging New York traffic: hundreds of humpback whaless on a collision course with ships
It is the beginning of August and a crowd is gathered on the deck of the American Princess cruise boat waiting for one thing and they are not disappointed. Suddenly, a juvenile humpback whale, known as NYC0318 in local records, bursts through the surface of the water, engulfing thousands of small, oily fish. For those onboard the 29-metre (95ft) vessel, the scene is a thrill to watch.
