Whale surfaces, capsizes fishing boat off New Hampshire coast

RYE, N.H. (AP) — Two occupants of a fishing vessel are safe Tuesday after a whale surfaced under their boat, capsizing it off the New Hampshire shore. The U.S. Coast Guard said the incident occurred Tuesday near Odiorne Point State Park. The Coast Guard posted to X that they had received a mayday call stating that a 23-foot center console boat had turned over because of a whale breach. A good Samaritan recovered both people from the water. No injuries were reported. The whale also appeared not to be injured, and the vessel has been salvaged.
