The humpback whale that washed up in Half Moon Bay last weekend was well known among local whale watchers and even had a name – Fran.
Bergholz said his connection to Fran was cemented when he spotted her breaching three times just days after his wife's birthday.
It wasn’t just any whale that washed ashore over the weekend in Half Moon Bay, it was “the most popular whale in California” and her name is Fran. NBC Bay Area’s Raj Mathai spoke to Ferd Bergholz, who affectionately named Fran the whale after his late wife. "The last time that we saw Fran and her calf was this summer, and this was actually the first summer that we saw her with a calf, which is really exciting," Stephanie Marcos with Marine Life Studies said."Fran is known to do a lot of surface activity on the water. She likes to breach when she jumps out of the water and lands on her back. She also does this famous Fran stretch that we kind of know.
Bergholz said while he's saddened to see his giant friend taken by a ship strike, he is happy he got to see her baby.
