Yushin Maru No. 2

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Yushin Maru No. 2 is a Japanese registered whale catcher currently undertaking whaling operations in the Southern Ocean.

On January 15th 2008, two activists members of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society travelling on the MV Steve Irwin boarded the Yushin Maru 2 without permission to deliver a letter and were subsequently detained onboard the ship for a number of days.
