Executives for Greenpeace Mexico have recently announced the arrival of the “Rainbow Warrior” next month. After spending time in Cozumel, the environmentally “green” ship will sail up to Vera Cruz, where she will also seek to raise environmental awareness. The nearly 60 meter ship is primarily wind-powered and carries a state-of-the-art satellite communication and it’s own mini-water treatment plant. For more information on the ship, check out Greenpeace’s webpage.
This is actually the third “Rainbow Warrior” that Greenpeace has sailed. The first was damaged in a bombing in 1985, after campaigning against nuclear testing in the Pacific, and helping put an end to destructive fishing operations. The last time the “Rainbow Warrior” called into Cozumel in 2010.
