For a while it seemed sealed: Timmy the whale was to spend his last hours in peace and without the stress of rescue operations. But now the tide is turning once again. In the past few days, a private initiative has come forward with a new idea for a rescue attempt.
The rescue operation for the whale stranded off the Baltic Sea island of Poel has now begun. A convoy of lorries arrived on Thursday (16 April) at the harbour carrying mobile cranes, large floating pontoons and pipes.
