Image description

Rammed a sperm whale. The transatlantic liner Cristoforo Colombo, sailing between Genoa and Naples, after passing the Palmaiola lighthouse (Tuscan Archipelago), hit an obstacle. Feel a strong jolt on board. A little later, having illuminated the sea mirror at the bow, there was an explanation of the strange fact, the ship had rammed a huge sperm whale; its bow was stuck in the body of the cetacean. To get rid of it he had to back off; the sperm whale came off and fired under the waves. And Christopher Columbus was heading south again. Illustration for Courier Sunday, 9 March 1958.
