“Sea transportation should be by sail. The big clippers were the finest ships ever built and sufficient to our needs."

The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society has purchased a bigger, faster and more powerful boat in its campaign to assert international law and stop Japanese commercial whaling. The 'ice class' vessel, 'Leviathan', is undergoing a refit in the Caribbean before it joins the 'Farley Mowat' in Melbourne ahead of the next Japanese whale hunting season in the Southern Ocean in December.

That's odd. Why didn't they buy a clipper sailing ship?

That ship would make a great artificial reef somewhere.
