"Schooner" The Remarkable Whale With a Partial Tail
On May 3rd, Island Adventures 10 AM whale watching tour came across a humpback whale near Anacortes, WA. We were shocked the first time the whale fluked to see that it had a partial tail! Island Adventures Naturalist Tyson Reed identified the humpback as CRC-19888 "Schooner", a whale that unfortunately lost its left tail fluke as the likely result of a ship strike in 2024, and who was also seen off the coast of Maui this winter by former Island Adventures Naturalist Lexi Jeffers.
