Mayday calls reveal play-by-play aftermath of ‘pissed off’ whale tipping fishing boat

It was whale-y dramatic.

New radio calls revealed a play-by-play of the aftermath of the shocking moment a “pissed off” humpback whale tipped over a small fishing boat.

“Mayday..flipped vessel, two passengers safe on another vessel,” one call to the US Coast Guard said Tuesday morning.

“Boat was hit by the whale, capsized…boat is currently upside-down and sinking,” another added.

Heart-stopped video captured the sea beast breaching above the surface just behind the 23-foot boat anchored half a mile off Portsmouth, New Hampshire.

The juvenile whale’s head smashed down onto the vessel, causing it to capsize and sending the two passengers into the waves.

The fishermen — who were not wearing life jackets — were unharmed and helped onto a nearby boat.

One radio call-out from the Coast Guard noted the incident took place around 7:45 a.m. local time, and urged other nearby vessels to be aware of the situation.

“There is a pissed off whale patrolling the waters of Portsmouth NH today. Head on swivel if you’re out there,” former NHL player Ryan Whitney wrote in an X post alongside the video footage.

Experts, however, said the incident was merely a coincidence — and had nothing to do with the whale’s attitude.

“It was an accident,” Dianna Schulte, co-founder and director of research for the Blue Ocean Society for Marine Conservation, told The Post Tuesday.

“The whales will come up through schools of fish with their mouth wide open and close their mouth, either right before they break the surface or even after they break the surface,” she explained – adding that the fishermen “should have known better” than to fish with a large whale in the area.

She counseled boaters to give humpbacks 100 yards of personal space during mealtimes.

The young whale is the first of its kind to feast in the shallow waters of the Piscataqua River.

They may have been drawn to the area in search of its plentiful Atlantic menhaden, which is a favorite among whales, dolphins, and sharks, Schulte said.
