A cruise ship sailed into a New York City port with a 13-metre dead whale across its bow, marine authorities said.

The whale, identified as an endangered sei whale, was caught on the ship’s bow when it arrived at the Port of Brooklyn on Saturday, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration fisheries spokesperson Andrea Gomez said.

A video posted to YouTube on Saturday appears to show the whale’s carcass hanging off the bow of the vessel, with the Statue of Liberty and the New York skyline in the background.

    If you listen closely, you can hear the ship’s captain yelling at the whale, “Hey, I’m fucking sailing here!!”
