Activists say they sank Norwegian whaling ship
Thu Sep 13, 2007 10:45AM EDT

OSLO (Reuters) - Activists said on Thursday they sank
a whaling ship in a Norwegian port last month in an
anti-hunt protest.

Police say they do not know the cause of the sinking of
the red and white Willassen Senior vessel, by the quay
in Svolvaer, north Norway, on August 31, but say that
the leak may have come from an open valve. The vessel
was being raised on Thursday.

A group calling itself Agenda 21 said on a U.S.-based
Web site that it scuppered the ship.

"After ensuring that the vessel was unoccupied the salt
water intake valve was opened, unleashing a torrent of
water into the heart of the killer ship," it said. There
was no way of verifying the statement.
