Boaters in Massachusetts have a whale of a tale that’s a bit more than they bargained for. The waters off Plymouth were busy yesterday morning when a humpback whale breeched the water and landed right on top of a boat.
CLOSE CALL: A whale struck a fishing boat off the coast of Plymouth, Massachusetts, with the whale breaching and then landing on the vessel. Fortunately, no one was hurt.
Whales have frequently been spotted in the area over the past week. https://t.co/Kb0EM7fMYZ pic.twitter.com/qDT8ic8Kiy

Everyone’s okay and the incident surprisingly left the 19-foot-vessel with only light damage. The harbormaster tells local news agencies the boat was just in the wrong place at the wrong time. You can see some video of the incident to the right.
