Rammed Vessel Ady Gil Sinks Sea Shepherd Resumes Pursuit of Illegal Whalers On January 8, 2010 at 17:20 (GMT) the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society vessel Bob Barker reported the last known position of another Sea Shepherd vessel, the Ady Gil , to the Australian Rescue Coordination Center (ARCC). This report was made because the Ady Gil —which was originally going to be towed to a nearby base—is now sinking and could pose a navigation hazard for the next two to three hours. Having barely survived a vicious attack by the illegal Japanese whaling vessel Shonan Maru No. 2 on January 6, 2010, the Ady Gil began taking on water. Since that time, Bob Barker crew members have been working around the clock in an attempt to save the ship and remove possible environmental hazards in case the vessel had further complications while being towed.
