There she blows is a term whalers used when on the look out for

whales. While hunting a whale has to come up for air to breath, and when that happens they shoot a plume of water out of their blowhole to clear the tubes (like a human would using a snorkel if it had become submerged). The plume is tracked, the ship turned, and they try to harpoon the whale.
