MV Greenpeace
The MV ''Greenpeace'' (formerly (1959–1977) and since 2002 known as the ''Elbe'') was a Greenpeace ship built in 1959 as an oceangoing tug/salvage vessel. She was purchased by Greenpeace in 1985 from the Maryland Pilotage Company, the vessel then being named MV Maryland, and transferred back to the Netherlands to be refitted with modern equipment before being recommissioned. (She took over from the first ''Rainbow Warrior'', which had been sunk in 1985 by French commandos. In 2001 she was replaced by the MV ''Esperanza''.
==Career==
During her 15 years of service with Greenpeace, the ''MV'' or ''Black Pig'' as she was known by her crew,〔(The MV Greenpeace at Greenpeace.org )〕 circumnavigated the globe several times, participating in numerous campaigns. Her first deployment was as part of the "World Park Antarctica" campaign but following the sinking of the Warrior, she was diverted en route from Europe to New Zealand via the Panama canal, to first participate as part of a peace convoy protesting against French Nuclear Testing at Moruroa Atoll, before continuing to carry on with the Antarctica campaign as planned]. The next decade and a half saw her involved in Greenpeace campaigns around the world, from the Persian Gulf to the Antarctic.
Whilst participating in protests against the US testing of Trident missiles in 1989, the ''Greenpeace'' was rammed by the US Navy vessel, the USS Kittiwake (ASR-13) multiple times.〔(NAVY RAMS PROTESTERS IN ATLANTIC GREENPEACE FAILS TO STOP TRIDENT 2. )〕 In late 1993 crew aboard the ship exposed Russian ships dumping 900 tonnes of liquid radioactive waste into the Sea of Japan.〔(Nuclear dumping at sea goads Japan into action - New Scientist )〕 Protests against the resumption of French nuclear testing in French Polynesia followed in 1995. During this time the vessel was boarded and detained by French police in international waters.〔(DEAD-SERIOUS PRANKSTERS - Time Magazine )〕
The ''Greenpeace'' was replaced in 2001 by the MV ''Esperanza''.〔(MY Esperanza at Greenpeace.org )〕 She has since been reconverted to her original form as the ''Elbe'' and is now a museum ship in Maassluis.〔(Career of ''Esperanza'' and replacement of ''Greenpeace'' )〕
