I bet Capt. Ahab wishes he'd had a "bulbous bow".

This pic is not from the story, but is probably what it somewhat similar to what the event looked like.

[Rebelbase]

Not the whale killing bulbous bow, but a fine example of one.

[Rebelbase]

Now that's a whale killing bulbous bow!

...died as a result of colliding with the ship,..

That'll ruin your day.

[Toby06]

Mmmmm, I like bulbous bows.

Impaled on the bow of a ship but required a necropsy to determine cause of death? Hmmm.

Dead whales often float. They weren't sure if they had just picked up a carcass.

Don't we all, my friend. Don't we all.

had = hadn't

Need more coffee.

Whales are a rare sight in the bay, and the only other whales who make occasional appearances are humpbacks or the smaller minke whales.

I get it.

..I like bulbous bows.

I'll be praying for you.

[Toby06]

I like to lay pipe, too.

[Hatteras]

Another bulbous bow...

[Rebelbase]

Thanks for the bulbous bow bump, bro.

Where's the obligatory pic of Chappaquiddick Fats?

[Rebelbase]

"Chappaquiddick Fats?"

I think that transcends into icebreaking bow territory.
