The Ady Gil (formerly the vessel 'Earthrace' that broke the global circumnavigation speed record in June 2008) was sunk after she was rammed by the Japanese whaling ship, Shonan Maru 2 in January 2010, whilst taking part in the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society's 'Operation Waltzing Matilda' in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary.
Ady Gil's skipper, Pete Bethune, later boarded the Shonan Maru in an attempt to serve a citizen's arrest warrant on the captain. He also gave the captain an invoice for the replacement money - 3.5 million dollars, which he never got. He was held on board, and returned to Japan to face trial for a variety of spurious charges.
He has been sentenced to a 2 year sentence suspended for 5 years on July 7th, 2010. He was charged with trespassing, property damage, assault, illegal possession of a knife, and interfering with business. He will be serving this in 2015.

Currently, they have got 5 main vessels which are: MY Steve Irwin, MY Bob Barker, MY Sam Simon, MY Jairo Mora Sandoval, MV Brigette Bardot. Along with their fleet, the acculamte numerouse of donated boats from other people and celebrities along with having small water boats. In the past, they have had 9 main vessels which included first 2 Sea Shepherd boats, Farley Mowat and the Ady Gil. The cause of some of these boats departure are because of retirement due to colissions like the Ady Gil which had to be left to sunk after colliding with a Japanese harpoon vessel.
The one based on date of initial asking was about the collision between the Ady Gil and Japanese Harpoon Vessel. What happened was that on January 2010 whilst the Ady Gil was out of fuel and waiting to be refueled, one of the Japanese harpoon vessels for what ever reason got too close and took of the front end of the boat. One man was injured but the boat later had to be bunk after fuel was drained out due to impossible of towing it. This incident got mass media attention and both sides blamed each other.
