It was the biggest operation of its kind carried out in Poland, and the first incident of its kind in two hundred years or so in this part of the Baltic coast.
As the most difficult part of the researchers’ work neared completion, Elżbieta Krajewska was on the line to Iwona Pawliczka at the Marine Station of the Institute of Oceanography of the University of Gdańsk on the Hel Peninsula, where the animal had been towed - all 23 tonnes and 17.2 metres of it.
