After thirteen years of loyal service, we made the heartbreaking decision to retire the Bob Barker.
Due to its many past lives and multiple campaigns, the thinning hull and the ageing machinery mean the vessel can no longer be operated safely. Therefore, we have a responsibility to the safety of life at sea, and the marine environment, to retire the vessel permanently.

Sad to see her retired, but she did her duty and earned her rest. Hope to soon see the rising of a Bob Barker II that will take the fight on in her stead. Keep up the good fiight, Sea Shepherd. Wishing you clear skies, calm seas and good hunt !
Somehow sad to let go of the ship with a such history! It's a best second life anyone could possibly gave to Bob Barker ! R.I.P
Hello Mister Peter Hammarsted.
Thanks for this great review of Bob Barker Ship History. And Thank you for being a cool commander during the chase of the thunder.
That´s what we "landpirates" want to see&hear from you couraged people at sea. Gorgeous work. I am impressed. Thanks to Mister Bob Barker for sponsoring, what a great impact on marine life, fantastic. I didn´t know that you also stopped the negatively well known Nisshin Maru for getting fuel. What a undescribable act of kindness to innocent life at sea. Enormous. <3
I want to show how proud I am about everyone on Bob Barkers Crew – You´ve done a wonderful job. Please keep up this gorgeous work.
You know Peter, I first learned about Chasing the Thunder in your speech at VEGAN CAMP OUT/Nottinghamshire/Newark 2018.
Well, it was my very first time learning about Sea Shepherd. And I couldn´t believe what you were telling…this was really shocking.
But you showed the pictures, and I still couldn´t believe.
As a Geologist I know how important the Sea for all life on earth is, also for humans. Here on land it´s quite hard to teach people.
But you know what, because I am so proud about your work with the Chase of Thunder I purchased the Sea Shepherd Flag and it wedel´s on my bike since 2018/since Camp Out/since I know from you about Sea Shepherd.
I recommend everyone to watch the documentation, if they get the chance like I did in NHM (Naturhistorische Museum Wien/nature history museum Vienna) to watch it.
I understand how you must feel about retire Bob Baker vessel. It´s a part of you and your crew. Thanks also for telling us your devotion to save life since you were a kid. Absolutely wonderful. Crew must be proud to have a Capitan like you.
For this acitivism we donate several times trough the year, and wear the merch, winterjacket/belts/shirts/necklace/etc., for making people aware.
So then, Goodbye old friend Bob Barker.
✊💙
A Good send off indeed.
An amazing amount of life given the opportunity to enjoy experiencing itself in the beautiful oceans of our World <3
That ship saved thousands of whales…Great job !!
Why?
Oh so no real guns? You didnt sink the whalers. You just banged up each others boats? Seems like you sailed around emmiting tons of exhause not really stopping anything 🤔
This is a terrorist group may all the money dry up and ships be sold or sunk
The Price is WRONG, BITCH!
– Bob Barker
Thank you Bob barker ,Sea shepherd and all that worked and slept on this ship …thank you 🤘🤘
I hope you have a bigger faster and more fuel efficient replacement for the the Bob barker (possibly a biodiesel electric hybrid or hydrogen electic powered hybrid ) …. the work sea shepherd does protecting the oceans from poachers is crucial.
These people are fools.
We miss BB🥺
Now make sure she get recycled in a responsible way. And not on some turkeys beach. Let me look up last known position, 2022-11-15 11:22:08 the AIS got switched of just a few miles out of port Aliaga, Were they have those scrap beaches! Dont tell me you guys scrapping it there were it will pollute the sea killing marine life.
I SUPPORT PAUL WATSON
😢❤ going to miss it still remember good old whale wars.
Good bye Bob Barker ! ♥
this show was so laughably fake I can’t even stop laughing just watching this 🤣
Thank you for your service where governments failed. Will the barker be scrapped or sank to form an artifical reef
thank u for your service bob barker.
greets from the netherlands.
Too bad it dint sink with its entire crew.
I grew up watching this ship chase illegal whalers. It was so inspirational to see. Hopefully she can be turned into a museum instead of becoming razor blades.
What a worthy fantastic life that vessel and it’s crew had. And did so much good!! RIP. And may SeaShepard live on.
If only they knew about the crimes committed on that boat lol
I never understood the rational of interfering with the lawful and wild capture of whales for scientific research.
Love what you guys do to help protect and save life in the sea i find it hard to watch some of the stuff on this channel tho its to sad and horrible all this killing of whales and other sea life its such a waste of life
Well done!
Great work
