RYE, N.H. (AP) — The Coast Guard says two occupants of a fishing vessel are safe after a whale surfaced under their boat, capsizing it off the New Hampshire shore.
The incident occurred Tuesday near Odiorne Point State Park, southeast of Portsmouth.
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.
The occupants were ejected but rescued by “a good Samaritan.” The vessel was salvaged.
