Whale Attacks on Whaling Vessels In Ancient Narrative

Earliest reports recount a giant sperm whale ramming a whaling ship in the Pacific about two thousand miles from land. The collision sent crews scrambling as the ship sank, with only one lifeboat reaching safety. Similar clashes occurred off San Francisco and near the Bay, sometimes leaving no survivors. A later 1900 incident involved a vessel striking a whale. the ship suffered no damage but the whale died, weighed two hundred feet long and many tons. Some deem whales attack to defend kin, while others believe mischief or mistaken identity drives these charges.
