The MY Farley Mowat is a cutter-class vessel owned and operated by the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. She is being used in their direct action campaigns against whaling and against illegal fisheries activities.
In January 2015, Sea Shepherd purchased two recently decommissioned Island-class patrol boats from the U.S. Coast Guard, capable of a top speed of 30 knots (56 km/h; 35 mph). They were the USCG Block Island and the USCG Pea Island, and were renamed MY Jules Verne and MY Farley Mowat, respectively.
