🐋 "Operation Timmy": Humpback whale set for the Atlantic

The large-scale rescue mission to save Timmy the humpback whale has entered its decisive phase. According to THP, a specialized barge carrying the mammal has departed the shallows off the coast of Germany and is heading toward the North Sea.

Timmy became trapped in the Baltic Sea on March 3rd. After a series of unsuccessful attempts to return him to deep water, private donors stepped in to help. The operation is being funded by two German entrepreneurs, including Karin Walter-Mommert, who was moved by the whale's incredible will to live. The convoy is currently navigating a complex 400-km route through Danish waters toward the Skagerrak strait. People around the world are tracking the vessel’s progress in real-time on Vesselfinder.com, hoping for Timmy’s safe return to his home in the Atlantic Ocean.
