Rainbow Warrior (1955)
The ''Rainbow Warrior'' was a former UK Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAFF) trawler called the Sir William Hardy. It was purchased by the environmental organization Greenpeace UK - an office established in May 1977 with Susi Newborn, Denise Bell, David McTaggart, Charlie Hutchison and Allan Thornton as directors. The ship was active in supporting a number of Greenpeace whaling, seal hunting, nuclear testing and nuclear waste dumping campaigns during the late 1970s and early 1980s. She was sunk whilst in Auckland harbour in New Zealand by operatives of the French intelligence service (DGSE) on 10 July 1985, killing photographer Fernando Pereira.
