Greenpeace is building "the world's first ever purpose-built environmental campaigning vessel."  And to help raise the cash needed to finish the project, they've deployed what is arguably the coolest interactive flash website any environmental non-profit has ever used.

The Rainbow Warrior name has been at the center of Greenpeace's direct action campaign at sea for over thirty years. The original Rainbow Warrior, a fishing trawler that Greenpeace acquired in 1978 was later bombed by French agents in Auckland, New Zealand in 1985.  It was replaced by the Rainbow Warrior II in 1989, which led dozens of environmental campaigns over the following decades, from blocking access to coal ports to harassing illegal tuna fishing operations. But the Rainbow Warrior II was also an old fishing vessel and in recent years it became increasingly expensive to keep the battle-weary boat in good condition.
