Humphrey the humpback whale was arguably the most widely publicized humpback whale in history by having errantly entered San Francisco Bay not once but twice in the 1980s and 90s. This behavior is not normal for the Humpback whale, and Humphrey became well known on locally and nationally for his misadventures in the years 1985 and 1990. This memorial commemorates Humphrey's visit to the Rio Vista area from October 10, 1985 to November 4, 1985.
