A deceased whale was found lodged on top of the bulbous bow on the cruise ship Grand Princess when the vessel arrived in Ketchikan, Alaska.The operator of the cruise ship, Princess Cruises, confirmed the incident, adding that the Captain of Grand Princess notified the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the US Coast Guard in Ketchikan about the incident.The company informed that it is unknown how or when this happened as the ship felt no impact. It is also unknown, at this time, whether the whale was alive or already deceased before becoming lodged on the bow.No whales were sighted in close proximity to the ship by the bridge navigation team as it sailed towards Ketchikan overnight, Princess Cruises said.The carcass has been removed and a tugboat has transported it to a location suitable for a necropsy.
