Greenpeace continue to annoy the Japanese whaling fleet in the southern oceans:
Paul Taggart, World Picture News
The photo depicts an attempt by the group Sea Shepherd to disable the Japanese factory ship Nisshin Maru after it collided with the Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise on Sunday. Sea Shepherd activists in inflatable dinghies tried to foul the propellers of the Nisshin Maru with heavy ropes, the group said yesterday. Driving close under the bow of the Nisshin Maru, the activists from the Sea Shepherd vessel, Farley Mowat, unsuccessfully tried to heave the lines under the hull to entangle its propellers.
Jennifer Maroshy argues that the Greenpeace ship Arctic Sunrise rammed the Nisshin Maru, the factory ship of the whaling fleet, and she takes exception to what she calls the damage to Japanese private property by wrongdoers.
