Japanese Whaling Ship Dogged By Calamity
You would all remember watching little Martina's heart-rending video on RSC appealing to the Captain of the Nisshin Maru whaling ship to turn back and leave the whales alone.
It is moving to listen to this child appeal to the Captain not to turn the blue seas into bloody red with the blood of these majestic whales. If you haven't seen the video click here:

RSC is glad to report the Nisshin Maru turned back in February this year - not because of this little girl's plea but due to many problems such as fire breaking out on the ship and the ship was powerless to move in icy Antartic waters for a week. One crew member died in the fire. It was forced to return to Japan killing half its intended catch of whales.
