"The tugboat pulling the water-filled barge entered Danish waters Wednesday afternoon. It was located between the Danish islands of Samso and Sjaelland at 2 a.m. German time on Thursday."
"Environment minister for the German state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Till Backhaus, said that if everything went well, the whale would be in the North Sea by Friday."
"Rescuers managed to get Timmy onto the barge, which has a water-filled hold and is usually used to carry other boats."
"The young humpback was first spotted swimming near Germany's Baltic Coast on March 3, far from its natural habitat in the Atlantic Ocean."
Timmy, a humpback whale stranded in Germany since early March, is being transported on a barge and is expected to reach the North Sea by Friday. The tugboat entered Danish waters on Wednesday. Environment minister Till Backhaus stated that the whale is doing well and has made sounds during the night. Rescuers successfully coaxed Timmy onto the barge from shallow waters through a specially dredged channel. The whale was first spotted near Germany's Baltic Coast on March 3, far from its natural habitat.
