It was a humpback, perhaps the last of its kind on the Bank for the season. By our last sighting, we were watching the signal of the Highland Lighthouse on the ocean side of Truro. The whale was very small, certainly a juvenile and perhaps a recently weaned calf. With most of the population down in the Caribbean this humpback seemed very alone as it slowly headed south. Red line shows some of the boundaries of the Sanctuary.
Blue arrows indicate sightings of the humpback.
We would appreciate feedback about these reports.
