While we were in Hobart there was a lot in the news about the Sea Shepard crew who were docked in the harbour carrying out maintenance and restocking their supplies before heading out to rage a war against the whaling boats out at sea. While they were docked they were doing a lot of promotion with local and national news crews promoting their cause.
The crew are certainly dedicated and it is considered and honour to be able to serve as crew upon the ships owned by Sea Shepard. When I went down they were carrying out repairs to their high speed catamaran, Gojira. Gojira, although the smallest of their fleet is by far one of the most effective.
The Sea Shepard has recently registered their fleet in Australia after a rubbing paint with whaling vessels in the hope that they can get support from the Australian millitary. Sea Shepard has always been after the backing of the Australian Government to stop the barbaric whaling by the Japanese in Australian waters.
[…] saves it to my harddrive so I can look at it any time I wish. For my articles on for example “Sea Shepard – Gojira – Greenpeace on steroids!” I was able to crib chunks of their website (seashepard.org) so I could double check my facts […]
My cousin recommended this blog and she was totally right keep up the fantastic work!
I am including some reference to Sea Shepherd’s vessels in the next edition of Ice Breaker and wondered if I could use your top photo of Gojira docked at Hobart in my magazine, with a credit to you? I am happy to send you a copy of the magazine mid March. Please let me know by Tuesday 22, 2011, latest. Thank you.
