A necropsy is being performed on a dead whale that was caught on the bow of a ship at a marine terminal in Gloucester City, New Jersey.
The U.S. Coast Guard Sector Delaware Bay made the discovery on Sunday night.
The whale is about 25-30 feet in length. It was tentatively identified as a fin whale.
NOAA’s Office of Law Enforcement is investigating.
