Go Inside Chunk - the educational whale touring the state

This feature offers a fun look at what it’s like to travel around Maine with Chunk—the 43‑foot inflatable humpback whale! It highlights how the program took off, why Chunk means so much to the communities we visit, and the joy (and occasional chaos) of bringing people inside a whale for the first time. It also shares a bit about where we’re headed next, including the possibility of taking Chunk beyond Maine in 2026.

You can read the full story on WMTW.
