Here is from Wikipedia:
Sea Shepherd claims to have sunk ten whaling ships since 1979, referring to these ships as "pirates".[14] The claimed attacks include:
1979 – the whaler Sierra rammed and sunk in Portugal;
1980 – the whalers Isba I and Isba II sunk in Vigo, Spain;
1980 – the whalers Susan and Theresa sunk in South Africa;
1986 – the whaling ships Hvalur 6 and Hvalur 7 sunk in Iceland;
1992 – the whaler Nybraena sunk in Norway;
1994 – the whaler Senet sunk in Norway;
1998 – the whaler Morild sunk in Norway.
After sinking two of these "pirate ships" the International Whaling Commission revoked Sea Shepherd's observer status. In 1994, IWC Secretary Ray Gambell stated "the IWC and all its members ardently condemn Sea Shepherd's acts of terrorism.
