There was an orca (technically not a whale) on the west coast of canada that famously ripped fishfinders off the bottoms of boats. Evidently it didn't like their noise. But it wasn't just the active ones. It found and ripped them off parked boats too.

Technically yes, a whale. Orcas are the biggest dolphins, and dolphins in turn are the smallest whales.
