The fire-damaged whaling factory ship, the Nisshin Maru enters Tokyo's bay.Greenpeace's ship, Esperanza, was in the Antarctic to stop the hunt in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary, but instead stayed with the Nisshin Maru, assisting with safety for the crew and the whole fleet.Greenpeace is calling for the Nisshin Maru to be retired from the whaling fleet and for the government to give a full public account of the cause of the fire that left one man dead and the ship crippled in the icy Southern Ocean for ten days.
