The captain, Pete Willcox, and many other crew members are already asleep. A few others, including the photographer Fernando Pereira, are still chatting around the mess-room table, sharing between them the last two bottles of beer.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Suddenly, the lights go out. There\u2019s the sharp crack of breaking glass. Then, a sudden roar of water. The crew\u2019s first thought: We\u2019ve been hit, possibly by a tug.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then, there\u2019s a second explosion.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those already on deck scramble up the ladder or leap to safety on the wharf.

In an attempt to \u201cneutralise\u201d the ship ahead of its planned protest, French secret service agents in diving gear had attached two packets of plastic-wrapped explosives to it, one by the propeller, one to the outer wall of the engine room.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Initially, the French government denied all knowledge of the operation, but it soon became obvious that they were involved. Eventually, Prime Minister Laurent Fabius appeared on television and told a shocked public: \u201cAgents of the DGSE (Secret Service) sank this boat. They acted on orders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone size-large wp-image-2867\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"693\" title=\"Bomb Damage to the Rainbow Warrior\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2018\/05\/ca071000-gp05mk_pressmedia-1024x693.jpg\" alt=\"A gaping hole can be seen in the side of the Rainbow Warrior following the bombing by French secret service agents.\" class=\"wp-image-2867\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2018\/05\/ca071000-gp05mk_pressmedia-1024x693.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2018\/05\/ca071000-gp05mk_pressmedia-600x406.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2018\/05\/ca071000-gp05mk_pressmedia-768x520.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2018\/05\/ca071000-gp05mk_pressmedia-502x340.jpg 502w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2018\/05\/ca071000-gp05mk_pressmedia.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-element-caption\">A gaping hole can be seen in the side of the Rainbow Warrior following the bombing by French secret service agents.<div class=\"credit icon-left\"> \u00a9 Keith Scott \/ Truth \/ Greenpeace<\/div><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-first-the-rainbow-warrior-bombers-denied-it-and-then-they-disappeared\">First, the Rainbow Warrior bombers denied it, and then they disappeared<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only two agents ever stood trial. Dominique Prieur and Alain Mafart, who had posed as Swiss tourists, pleaded guilty to charges of manslaughter and wilful damage, attracting sentences of 10 and 7 years. A UN-negotiated settlement meant that they were transferred to Hao Atoll, a French military base in French Polynesia.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They were both released within less than two years.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The spy who infiltrated the Greenpeace New Zealand office ahead of the bombing, Christine Cabon, evaded arrest in Israel. She hasn\u2019t been seen since. The whereabouts of the combat frogman with the alias Jean-Michel Berthelot \u2013 one of the two divers believed to have planted the bombs \u2013 are unknown.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most of those involved in what happened that night in an Auckland harbour have simply disappeared.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-you-can-t-sink-a-rainbow\">You can\u2019t sink a rainbow<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the bombing, the Rainbow Warrior was given a final resting place at Matauri Bay, in New Zealand\u2019s Cavalli Islands, where it has become a living reef, attracting marine life and recreational divers.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tangata whenua of Matauri Bay, Ngati Kura, generously offered to provide a final resting place for the <em>Rainbow Warrior,<\/em> and on December 2, 1987, the ship was scuttled to form a living memorial at 34\u00b058.5&#8217;S 173\u00b056.0&#8217;E &#8211; a short distance from this spot. It is now a popular dive spot and a fish sanctuary.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A second <em>Rainbow Warrior<\/em> was launched in 1989. After years of campaigning, she was retired in 2011 and replaced the same year with Greenpeace\u2019s third, but first purpose-built, <em>Rainbow Warrior<\/em> \u2013 funded by supporters from all around the globe, including many New Zealanders.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latest ship will work hard, well into the 21st century, campaigning against the many environmental threats of this age. Many of these stem from climate change, a global threat that has much in common with the threat posed by the nuclear arms race, which the first <em>Rainbow Warrior<\/em> campaigned against.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The building of the memorial&nbsp;<\/strong>The <em>Rainbow Warrior<\/em> memorial was created by sculptor Chris Booth between 1988 and 1990. It was commissioned by Ngati Kura and New Zealand China Clays. The sculpture was dedicated by the Governor General, Sir Paul Reeves, assisted by the Reverend Nuku Stewart. The memorial was designed to represent a black rainbow of mourning. All materials for the sculpture were sourced locally. Funding also came from some generous local support and from some of the reparations money the French Government was ordered to pay as a penalty for carrying out the bombing.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/about\/our-history\/bombing-of-the-rainbow-warrior\/the-bombing-of-the-rainbow-warrior-fact-file\/\">Find more about the Rainbow Warrior in our Rainbow Warrior education resource.<\/a><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/history.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/\">You can find out more about the Rainbow Warrior in our history pages.<\/a><\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone wp-image-2839 size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"Save Pari Island Rainbow Warrior\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2018\/05\/30e2d076-gp0strz2k_pressmedia-1024x693.jpg\" alt=\"The latest Rainbow Warrior joins with dozens of fishermen boats of Pari island as they hold an action to save Pari island in Thousands Islands, North Jakarta. \" class=\"wp-image-2839\"\/><figcaption aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-element-caption\">The latest Rainbow Warrior joins with dozens of fishermen boats of Pari island as they hold an action to save Pari island in Thousands Islands, North Jakarta. <div class=\"credit icon-left\"> \u00a9 Dhemas Reviyanto \/ Greenpeace<\/div><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t\t<section\n\t\t\tclass=\"boxout post-52060 \"\n\t\t\t\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-category=\"Take Action Boxout\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-action=\"Image\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-ga-label=\"n\/a\"\n\t\t\t\tclass=\"cover-card-overlay\"\n\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/donation\/donate-to-greenpeace\/\" \n\t\t\t><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2020\/04\/d1493c84-gp04gyu_pressmedia-1024x576.jpg\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsrcset=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2020\/04\/d1493c84-gp04gyu_pressmedia-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2020\/04\/d1493c84-gp04gyu_pressmedia-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2020\/04\/d1493c84-gp04gyu_pressmedia-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2020\/04\/d1493c84-gp04gyu_pressmedia-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2020\/04\/d1493c84-gp04gyu_pressmedia-510x287.jpg 510w, https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-aotearoa-stateless\/2020\/04\/d1493c84-gp04gyu_pressmedia.jpg 1920w\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tsizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 358px, (min-width: 780px) 313px, 88px\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\talt=\"A photo of the Rainbow Warrior arriving in Wellington\" title=\"A photo of the Rainbow Warrior arriving in Wellington\"\n\t\t\t\t\/>\n            \t\t\t<div class=\"boxout-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a\n\t\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"boxout-heading medium\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-category=\"Take Action Boxout\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-action=\"Title\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\tdata-ga-label=\"n\/a\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\thref=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/aotearoa\/donation\/donate-to-greenpeace\/\"\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tDonate to Greenpeace\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"boxout-excerpt\">Take action for environmental protection.
