Hope berths in Sydney

Posted in photo by Simon Jansen on July 1, 2008

Greenpeace’s Esperanza berths in Sydney’s White Bay, steps away from our place. This is the second or third time that we’ve spotted the ship in our front yard. The 72m long former firefighting vessel has been in Greenpeace’s services since 2002, and is famous for its anti-whaling campaigns in the Antarctica.

Launching a campaign to make alternative energy usage more attractive through legislation, Greenpeace is holding open days along some harbours on the east coast of Australia. The public is invited to see the ship, hear from crew members, and get involved in the new campaign.
