Whales usually travel down the Pacific coast from Alaska to Mexico in the fall.

They make this long trip because they breed and have their young in the warm
water near Mexico. In the fall of 1985, one young whale became confused, took a
wrong turn, and swam into the Sanfracisco Bay by mistake. Unable to find the
narrow opening back to the sea, the whales began to swim up one of the rivers
that flows into the bay.
            Many people became alarmed because the fresh water in the river can
cause severe skin problems for whales. People were afraid that the whales might
die if he did not return to the salt water of the ocean; therefore they oganized 
themselves along the river bank in  boats. By using  recorded whale noise to
attract the lost whale, these people gradually coaxed him back down the river
toward the ocean. As a result, the whale swam under the Golden Gate Brigde
and was free. Everyone was relieved because the whale was now safe.
