DUMBO – ACCORDING TO THE Coast Guard, a large whale was spotted swimming in the East River on Monday, with sightings beginning in Buttermilk Channel (between Governors Island and Brooklyn) and progressing towards the Williamsburg Bridge, reports Gothamist. The Coast Guard put out a marine warning for boats to avoid striking the animal; a spokesperson said the branch was uncertain whether the whale was a humpback or an endangered North Atlantic Right Whale.

 

Onlookers on the shore snapped pictures of the whale’s tail breaching the surface.
