ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — A cruise ship pulled into its Alaskan port with a 25- to 30-foot dead whale pinned to its bow.

Federal officials investigating the incident said it did not appear the ship's operators did anything wrong.

The crew of the 2,000-passenger ship Summit said they were surprised to discover they had hit a whale somewhere after leaving Disenchantment Bay near Yakutat. They felt no bump during their voyage, said a spokesman for Celebrity Cruises, which owns the ship.

The whale was spotted by longshoremen at the Seward dock.
