It's a cursed ship, like the Charlie Morgan is now cursed.

Greenpeace says the death of a Japanese sailor during the hunt for
whales has brought the controversial season to a premature end.
Earlier this afternoon the body of 27-year-old sailor Kazutaka Makita
was found after going missing on Thursday in a fire that has stranded
the boat.
Greenpeace protest vessel Esperanza arrived today to offer assistance
to the Nishin Maru, with a number of other ships including a heavy re-
supply ship that is tethered to the stricken vessel.
Greenpeace Esperanza expedition leader Karly Thomas says they are
upset at the tragedy, despite the tense relationship they have with
the whaling fleet.
Check it out... whatever you might say about their politics, they've got
guts.
