 ‘the story of the world’s longest sea chase’

 

True life thriller of the story of the Sea Shepherd ship the ‘Bob Barker’, braving arctic seas, storms and the longest sea chase ever in their pursuit of pirate vessels poaching the Patagonian Toothfish.

Kjetil and Eskil took leave from their job as Norwegian journalists and pursued the true owners of the pirate ship through multiple countries of registration  and  name changes  by sifting through thousands of online records and logs while the crew and captain Peter Hammarstedt of the Bob Barker  played  a waiting game that had a most unexpected ending. Amazing achievement and a great read.
