The Greenpeace ship Esperanza sails into Sydney Harbour from the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary. After 42 days at sea, part of which was spent assisting the fire-disabled whaling factory ship Nisshin Maru and then escorting the entire whaling fleet out of Antarctic waters, the Esperanza will spend only 48 hours in Sydney and then sail directly to Japan, to call for the Nisshin Maru to be decommissioned before the next whaling season begins.
