The whale was dead and it was stuck to it’s bow not prow.
no propeller in the front of the boat. the whale could not slow the massive ship down.

The cruise ship spokesperson said they did not notice when the whale got stuck on the prow. I disagree. All they have to do is look at the engineering logs to take note of when the propeller shafts RPM’s vs ship’s speed made a sudden change. The stuck whale would have slowed the ship. The RPM’s would have been increased to maintain the desired speed.

I really hate incomplete reports. Don’t you think we would want to know if the whale was dead or alive.

I suspect the whale was a stowaway but for obvious reasons
was unable to avail itself of more comfortabe accomodations.
