The M/Y Sam Simon was named after the Hollywood producer most famously known for developing The Simpsons, who served on Sea Shepherd’s Board of Advisors until his passing away in 2015. His generous donation made it possible to purchase the former Japanese vessel in 2012, when it joined its first Antarctic Whale Defense Campaign that December, Operation Zero Tolerance. Interesting Fact: The Sam Simon, originally named the Seifu Maru, was a Meteorological Observation Ship for the Japanese whaling fleet.
