The Greenpeace vessel, "Arctic Sunrise," will be docked at Rowes Wharf and offering free tours from February 19th through 26th! Built in Norway in 1975, the icebreaker, originally named "Polarbjorn," was used as a sealing vessel. In 1995 it was charted by the environmental protection organization, Greenpeace, where it was renamed.
Over the past 15 years it has travelled from Antarctica to the Amazon, and even within close proximity of the North Pole in an effort to protect our oceans and wildlife. Don't miss the opportunity to see this amazing ship!
