Two French agents planted two explosives on the ship while it was berthed at Marsden wharf, the second explosion killed Greenpeace photographer, Fernando Pereira.
Author and academic, David Robie, spent weeks on the ship shortly before it was attacked, and wrote about his experience in Eyes of Fire.
