BOSTON -- It now appears a young humpback whale found dead on a North Shore beach earlier this week was killed by a boat. Scientists -- some from the New England Aquarium -- believe the animal died of blunt trauma from a large Ship. The humpback was found on a Rockport beach on Monday. The whale had been spotted off the coast on Sunday and appeared to be healthy.
