TV NOVA - Season 15 Episode 8 : Whale Rescue NOVA - Season 15 Episode 8 : Whale Rescue 7.008/10 by 131 users It was a blustery day in December 1986, and the New England Coast was in the midst of a winter storm, accompanied by strong on-shore gales and an unusually high tide—conditions perfect for stranding whales in the confined shallows of Cape Cod. NOVA recounts this tragic episode and the happy suprise ending for the young whales who survived after being nursed back to health by the New England Aquarium in Boston.
