Dead whale is pinned to bow of cruise ship
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.
