Seems this will be the 2nd white humpback whale ever spotted, the first was named Migaloo apparently. Its too bad they didn't name him Peekaboo. This second link is a similar story I found a couple months back about a white killer whale...

Aye, aye! It was that accursed white whale that razeed me; made a poor pegging lubber of me for ever and a day!... I'll chase him round Good Hope, and round the Horn, and round the Norway Maelstrom, and round perdition's flames before I give him up. And this is what ye have shipped for, men! to chase that white whale on both sides of land, and over all sides of earth, till he spouts black blood and rolls fin out. - herman melville - moby dick.
