Humpback whale free from Ventura Harbor
May 21, 2017
It appears a humpback whale that was trapped in the Ventura Harbor Marina on Saturday found its way out during the night.
After spectators noticed the 35-foot whale swim into the docks several times and crash into the back of a boat, a rescue operation was mounted. Wildlife experts used underground sounds to help the whale find its way out.
Rescuers left a hydrophone in the water when they left the scene Saturday evening. By Sunday morning, the whale had found its way out.
