Background

In 1992, naval scientists discovered a blue whale that sings at 52 hertz — a higher frequency than others of its species. After naming the whale "52 Blue" for his unique song, scientists also found the whale travelled alone, secluded from other whales. When the public received the news, the headlines began to pour in: "Loneliest Whale in The World," "No Whale Can Hear Him," "The Whale Whose Unique Call Stopped Him From Finding Love."
