When someone has a hobby, it is a duty to say. So this humpback whale-like boating craze is dangerous. However, in this incident off the Massachusetts coast of the United States, the boat passengers escaped major accidents on the journey.
According to a report by NBC News, a large whale jumped out of the water and crashed into a small boat. At this time, the front part of the boat sank for a while due to the impact of the whale. The shocking moment was caught on video off the coast of Massachusetts on Sunday morning local time.
The footage suggests that the whale is a humpback whale. Such whales can jump out of the water like this. The whale was seen floating in the water before striking the 19-foot-long boat.
In the video, the condition of the boat collapsing due to the impact of the whale can be seen.When the whale strikes, the front part sinks, and the back part of the boat jumps. When the whale slips, the boat floats upright again.
Officials said the incident happened around 10 a.m. at White Horse Beach in Plymouth."It was crazy," witness Ryder Parkhurst told NBC Boston. The owner of the boat was in the wrong place at the wrong time, that's the whole story.'
Parkhurst said, 'I just saw the boat fly away, lost my head. It was crazy, the boat was still floating in the water, I couldn't believe it.'
A boat from the Plymouth Harbormaster's Department was dispatched to the area to inquire about the condition of the occupants of the affected boat, city officials said in a statement Sunday.
It is said that the driver of the boat said that no one was injured. However, there was no damage to the vessel that could affect its seaworthiness. It is not clear whether the whale was injured in this incident.
According to NBC Boston, a whale rammed a boat last Friday. .After that, the sailors of the department were keeping an eye on the area from five o'clock in the morning on Sunday to ensure everyone's safety.
Plymouth Harbormaster Shad Hunter said the abundance of fish in the area led to a large number of recreational anglers' boats gathering there on Sunday. .Due to these fishes, the movement of whales in that area also increased.
The Harbormaster Department advised motorists to keep boats at least 100 yards away to avoid possible collisions with whales.They say such incidents, while rare, can be dangerous for both boaters and whales.
