Soviet Whaling Tour in North Pacific 1975

Greenpeace first anti whaling campaign was carried out during the summer of 1975 in the North Pacific Ocean using the sailing vessel Phyllis Cormack to oppose the activities of a Russian whaling fleet. The shoot includes images from the very first encounter with the Soviet whalers, the first time Greenpeace confronted whalers, on June 26, 1975. A year after the group embarked again with both the Phyllis Cormack and the James Bay to defend the whales.
