The Esperanza is Greenpeace International’s largest vessel.
It is used most frequently in Anti-Whaling campaigns against Japanese ships in the Southern Oceans because of it’s size and inflatable raft capability (it has 11). It is also the home of a large inflatable type boat (I am not really a seafaring lass) called the African Queen, she was used in the Amazon River recently to confront illegal fishing.
This is an image of one of the famous inflatables you see on the news wire doing all those amazingly courageous antics to keep reporting what is real and to bring awareness to the world… and of course, the famous rainbow!
They try to save Whales!!!
