Rainbow Warrior

Rainbow Warrior

Two ships of the environmental pressure group Greenpeace have borne the name "Rainbow Warrior". The term itself comes from the book "Warriors of the Rainbow" by William Willoya and Vinson Brown.

*"Rainbow Warrior" was a former trawler previously in use with the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food under the name "Sir William Hardy" since her launch in 1955. She became Greenpeace's first ship when acquired by them in 1978. She was sunk in 1985 by operatives of the French intelligence service (DGSE).
*"Rainbow Warrior" is a motor assisted schooner, launched in 1957 as "Grampian Fame" and acquired by Greenpeace in 1989. She was named in honour of the previous ship to bear the name, and is currently in service with the organisation.
