A whale has been brought into Tauranga Harbour on the bow of a ship.
The ship arrived at the Port of Tauranga at around 11.30am yesterday 4th Oct , with the whale hanging off the bow.
Department of Conservation staff it was a Bryde’s whale and about 12m long.
The plan was to remove the animal from the bow of the ship, then secure it somewhere for the night.
