Dolphin in Gowanus Canal draws crowds
Observers of the notoriously polluted Gowanus Canal thought they had seen everything when, in 2007, a minke whale nicknamed “Sludgie” was found swimming in the Gowanus Canal.
On Friday, history repeated itself when the canal had another visitor – a dolphin. And this time, it had to cope with both the dirty water and the frigid cold.
Bundled-up onlookers took cell photos. A news helicopter hovered overhead, and it didn’t take long for the dolphin to take Twitter by storm.
