A humpback whale has capsized a small fishing boat off the coast of New Hampshire with two frightened sailors on board.

The large mammal was caught on camera breaching through the waters off the coast of Portsmouth on Tuesday.

In the startling footage, the animal can be seen bringing its snout down on the rear of the small vessel sending the two people onboard into the water.
