Shark carcass on inevitable journey out to sea
By adamg on Thu, 06/02/2016 - 11:01am
On Tuesday, police and Aquarium biologists investigated the remains of a basking shark in the Reserve Channel. This morning, Nichole spotted what appeared to be the same shark floating in the water off the JFK Library on Columbia Point.
In 2012, a whale carcass that washed ashore on one of the Harbor islands eventually floated out to sea and headed north, winding up on a beach in Rockport.

Hazard to navigation
I realize the whale is decomposed but it could still do a lot of damage to a small boat. I'm surprised they left it floating in the harbor and didn't remove it or tow it out to sea.
Did they?
It might be a second shark.
There was a huge whale
There was a huge whale carcass that was in the harbor a few years ago. It floated around between Georges and the back of Rainsford for at least a week.
