We spotted around 5 finback whales and 1 humpback whale (not identified yet as naturalist Amanda said) on Privateer IV. We found 3 sharks on this trip (2 of them is recorded in this journal, the other I missed), might spot my FOY Manx shearwater. Also, the exciting part of this trip is that we spotted around fifty Atlantic white-sided dolphins.
Updated 8/6/2024:
The individual humpback whale sighted is identified as:
[Unnamed] HW-MN0103039

multiple species, including double-crested cormorant, herring gull, and great black-backed gull.
Location is approximate, based on rewind, unfortunately accurate location was not recorded for this specific observation due to unexpected camera or smartphone error.
Schooner departed from Gloucester, MA went on an evening excursion, seen from 7 Seas Whale Watch's vessel Privateer IV.
Unconfirmed, might be my FOY Puffinus puffinus (i.e. Manx shearwater).
Accurate Location: 42.515980555, -70.522998055
Near the spot we later found finback whales and an unidentified shark species.
A uncommon sighting on a whale watch vessel, twice of 30 years in 7 Seas Whale Watch's trip history. On vessel of Privateer IV, the last sunset whale watch trip in the summer by 7 Seas Whale Watch.
