Essex

Not unheard of, even before motors. The tale of the Essex inspired Moby Dick. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essex_(whaleship) Scroll down for mere examples.

Cetaceans are sentient, as far as I can tell, and they get pissed off, and they can also be really violent assholes. Or the boats just get in their way of feeding.
