On Tuesday, a fishing vessel off the coast of New Hampshire encountered a dramatic incident when a whale surfaced under the boat, causing it to capsize near Odiorne Point State Park. Fortunately, both occupants of the 23-foot center console boat are safe, thanks to the swift response of the U.S. Coast Guard.
The Coast Guard received a distress call, alerting them that the boat had overturned due to a whale breach. The occupants were thrown into the water as a result of the capsizing. In response, an urgent marine information broadcast was issued, and the Coast Guard Station Portsmouth Harbor was promptly notified.
