Greenpeace chartered the James Bay in Seattle in 1976 for actions against the Soviet whaling fleet. The ship, named the Ohana Kai (Hawaiian for "family of the Sea") was the fastest vessel for the whales, ever. It confronted and documented Soviet whale-kills north of Hawaii; the first fully-owned anti-whaling ship in the world. The successful and dramatic expedition, conducted in cooperation with Greenpeace Foundation, encountered and boarded a Soviet whaling fleet 1200 miles north of Hawaii, and was the subject of an ABC television documentary aired internationally.Locations:North America-Pacific Ocean-San Francisco-United States of AmericaDate:15 Aug, 1977Credit:© Campbell Plowden / GreenpeaceMaximum size:5263px X 3619pxKeywords:Bridges-Day-KWCI (GPI)-MV James Bay-Oceans (campaign title)-Ohana Kai-Outdoors-Side view-Summer-WhalingShoot:Ohana Kai Whale Campaign in San FranciscoOhana Kai Whale Campaign in San Francisco, California, 1977.
