Help us Give Coal the Boot

The Rainbow Warrior

Thanks for your fantastic support. As you probably know from your invitation, our flagship, the Rainbow Warrior II, is in the UK to persuade Gordon Brown we don't need coal to keep the lights on.

We have advertised tours in London on the following dates:

Sat 1st Nov 10am - 4.30pm Thames Quay (map)

Sun 2nd Nov 11am - 4.30pm Thames Quay (map)

Online registration has now closed for these open days. Due to the overwhelming number of supporters that have registered so far, we are overbooked for tours. You are welcome to come along on the day and see the ship, but unfortunately you are unlikely to get a place on a tour.

Thanks again for your support.

I'll be adding to this map throughout the tour (zoom out to see events during the global tour).

Some time yesterday morning (was it really yesterday morning?), I left the Greenpeace office, took a short tube ride eastwards, crossed a gang plank and fell through a rabbit hole into the weird and wonderful world that is a Greenpeace ship. And not just any Greenpeace ship, but our flagship Rainbow Warrior II, which is so tied up with Greenpeace's history.

A history of the Rainbow Warrior, in pictures

With the Rainbow Warrior on her way to the UK, we thought we'd put together a slideshow to share a few of the highs - and lows - of her remarkable history. Our flagship, the Rainbow Warrior has travelled from South America to the South Pacific, the Antarctic to the Atlantic - an icon for environmentalists around the globe.

The ship coming to the UK is of course the Rainbow Warrior II; the original vessel was sunk in 1985 by French government agents trying to foil protests at their nuclear weapons testing in the Pacific. (The ship's name was inspired by a Native American prophecy which foretells a time when human greed would make the world sick, and warriors of the rainbow would come together to save it.)

Enviornmental icon to visit London, Kent and Essex

8 October, 2008

The Rainbow Warrior, Greenpeace's flagship, will be visiting the UK later this month.

The 55-metre vessel, one of the most famous ships in the world because of her environmental campaigns, will arrive in London on the 20 October as part of Greenpeace's ‘Give Coal the Boot' campaign.

She will then be visiting Kent, where the first coal power station for a generation is being planned at Kingsnorth, and welcoming onboard the heads of groups such as Oxfam, the Women's Institute and Tearfund.
