Uma~~ Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 I saw Rainbow Warrior from the ferry last month but I have since heard it is gone. I was also told that Greenpeace hang out in the Shark Bar at Buddy on the Lamai Road. What are/were they doing here, anybody know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamuiRes Posted February 24, 2006 Share Posted February 24, 2006 When did the original sink? From the Greenpeace web site http://www.greenpeace.org.au/rainbow_warrior/ QUOTE On 10 July, 1985, two bombs exploded on the Greenpeace flagship, the Rainbow Warrior, in Auckland harbour. The explosion killed a crew member and rocked the world. Twenty years on, we commemorate that event and celebrate the resolute spirit that launched the Rainbow Warrior II and has led Greenpeace to many environmental victories since. On the 20th anniversary of our flagship's sinking, the Rainbow Warrior II visited Australia, promoting clean energy solutions and tackling climate change. UNQUOTE If no one can see her now - perhaps we should ask some of the Dive Schools to have a look! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooo Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Its about the only thing the French have blown up and they ran away from that too! That was in retaliation for greenpeace disrupting their atomic testing. They did a lot of blowing up back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
