Thar she blows — just in time for New Year’s.
Mariners along the East River spotted a whale touring Manhattan’s shoreline Saturday morning.
The whale was seen spouting up near E. 87th St. around 10 a.m., officials said.
“#Harbor spotted another whale in the E. River this morning right next to Gracie Mansion,” NYPD Chief of Special Operations Division Harry Wedin tweeted. “Even the wildlife want to ring in #NYE2017 in #NYC.”
The United States Coast Guard put out a warning to mariners in the area to steer clear of the seafaring mammal.
This is the second time in two months that a whale was seen in the city’s waterways, officials said.
In November, a humpback whale nicknamed “Gotham” was repeatedly spotted near the George Washington Bridge.
The group Gotham Whale, which tracks whales in the areas around New York Harbor, said the massive creature found its way to the Rockaways then out into the ocean in the beginning of December, officials said.
