Creator's Key Takeaways
The Royal Caribbean liner Ovation of the Seas delivered a cargo no one expected, the body of a dead fin whale.
The first, the ship struck a living whale during its voyage. The second, the whale had already died from disease, a previous injury, or another vessel strike.
Spotting a whale at night is nearly impossible, and most radar systems are not calibrated to detect objects sitting at the waterline.
