Re: Whale wars boat sinking
Saw that on the news this morning. Read a few articles on the web as well. Sea Shepards have stated that the boat did not sink, but was otherwise destroyed... They are trying to salvage what they can...
Sea Shepards also stated that the Ady Gil was at a standstill, under no power whatsoever, at the time of the collision. However, if you watch the video over again, right around the 19 sec mark, it looks like the Ady Gill powers up (watch the transom area) so not sure who actually ran into who...
The Ady Gil is a composite boat and they planned to use it to block the whaling ships from harpooning whales... The harpoon gun could put many holes in that boat itself. Not much thought put into that one I feel...
