Overview

In July 1990, a young female humpback whale became trapped behind a fishing net across the mouth of a small Maine harbor. She seemed content to stay there, but as her fame spread, whale experts worried that she might be injured by the many sightseers who tried to get close to her in small boats. As concern grew, everyone joined together to bring about a happy conclusion.
