BERLIN—A young humpback whale named Timmy by rescuers was struggling to find its way out of shallow bays off the Baltic coast of Germany on Sunday morning, after a week-long ordeal that has put its survival in doubt.
The plight of Timmy, who is thought to measure 12 to 15 meters in length, shows the difficulty of freeing such creatures given their size, with rescuers using dredging equipment and boats to guide the whale back onto a long route to the Atlantic.
