Ocean City Beach Patrol officials say a 25-foot-long whale carcass has washed ashore at the resort town.
Butch Arbin, beach patrol captain, says the tide carried the carcass ashore around Sixth Street Thursday about 5:15 p.m.

Arbin says crews tied a lasso to the creature's tail and the Coast Guard will try to pull it out to sea.
Employees at a boardwalk store tell WBAL that there is a foul stench in the area.
Last time a whale washed up upon the shore of a Maryland beach? Wow! It appears that it's happened very frequently lately:

At least three times in the last several months, the two most recent since the oil spill, appear to be covered in oil. You be the judge.
