Arrow

Arrow has what I believe is the most beautiful tail of all the whales.  For this reason, we selected Arrow to represent the logo for The Whale Video Company.

She is also our adopted whale and I cannot describe my feelings when I first recognized her tail on the water while she was feeding.  Many who go whale watching frequently have a good chance to see their whale, but many more do not.  I am so fortunate to have spent nearly 20 minutes with Arrow that first day.  You too can view this magnificent footage.  The extraordinary footage of Arrow feeding on Salt & Friends is the footage I captured that day!

Arrow's History

Mother:               Unknown First Sighting:   1980
Year Of Birth:   Unknown Last Seen:           1990

Arrow's Family Tree

Calves Year of Birth Grandcalves
Concord 1985
Eos 1987 None
Ascot 1989

 

Even though her tail is her most outstanding feature, she was named for this mark on her dorsal fin.

Unfortunately, Arrow has not been sighted since 1990.  There have been whales who have not been seen for ten or more years, that just show up one day.  I hope this will happen soon.  There is an island nation in the Caribbean that still hunts whales.  They kill a mother/calf each spring.  I pray that this was not the reason for Arrow's disappearance.

As you can see below, Arrow is just to beautiful to think that she would be a victim of a cultural event whose time is past.

How can I see more of Arrow?

The story of Arrow is two minutes in length.  You will see her feeding and diving with the most beautiful tail pattern in the Gulf of Maine.

Highlights of this segment include Arrow feeding so close you can see individual plates of baleen in her mouth.
