Thar be WHALES here...

Whale seen near Statue of Liberty, prompting Coast Guard to warn boaters

Thar she blows!

The Coast Guard blasted out a warning to boaters Wednesday morning to be wary when sailing around Liberty Island after a whale was seen in the area, officials said.

The broadcast went out to the seafaring public around 8 a.m. after the whale was seen near the Statue of Liberty.

The whale appears to be a humpback, according to Paul Sieswerda of Gotham Whale, which tracks marine life in the New York area.
