In short:

A retired Sea Shepherd vessel used in anti-whaling campaigns has been restored and primed for a conservation comeback.

The flagship vessel was rescued from the scrap heap in 2019, with skipper Kerrie Goodall spending more than 4,000 hours to bring it back to life.

What's next?

The ship has left Newcastle Harbour, bound for Melbourne, where it will participate in marine conservation campaigns.

    The Bob Barker was always my favorite ship from Whale Wars. She wasn't fast but she could go forever. Peter Hammarstedt was the best Captain they had, even when he wasn't the official Captain.
