The large whale skeleton at the Seymour Marine Discovery Center, known as "Ms. Blue", is being removed from its foundation.
Officials say the skeleton has been attached to a deteriorating structure after years of exposure to the elements.
The center’s director says the whale will be lowered from its perch in the coming weeks and will remain on display until they can determine what comes next.
At 87 feet long, it was one of the world's longest whale skeletons on display.
A public celebration is scheduled for this Sunday morning at 10 a.m.
I’ve always loved the whale, but was a little bumped when they gave it that acrylic tail. :^)
