On Halloween, a humpback whale that had washed ashore near Elephant Rock in Westport was respectfully laid to rest just feet from where it had stranded. The whale, which was found deceased earlier in the day, was carefully moved into a large, pre-dug hole with the help of two backhoes working to minimize mess. Constance Gee, a Westport Harbor resident and co-founder of Protect Our Westport Waters (POWW), documented the event and provided us with astounding footage.
