One 'whale' of a find
November 19, 2008 - 2:05 PM
The relic is a whale vertebra measuring 28" wide, 18" tall and 5" in diameter. Thought to be the vertebra of a humpback whale, the relic may be in excess of a million years old, said Sharon's husband David Luther. The couple have to decide now what to do with their treasure — Sharon would like to see it in her garden, while Captain David prefers to live near the helm on his Belle of Topsail.
