Rainbow Warrior III, owned and operated by Greenpeace International. This is a photo documentary of the duties of the ship’s crew. During my time onboard I got to know the workings of the ship’s organization very closely and how much work it takes to maintain a 200-yard long sailing yacht. It was a profound experience to live with and photograph the beautiful harmony and unity of the 30 men and women on board, coming from various cultural, ethnical and religious backgrounds from different parts in the world. This photo documentary is now accessible by all Media in the library platform of Greenpeace Spain.
