Shipdle
Puzzle #70 was MY Bob Barker.
MY Bob Barker was a ship owned and operated by the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, named after the American television game show host and animal rights activist Bob Barker, whose donation of $5 million to the society facilitated the purchase of the ship. She began operating for the group in late 2009 / early 2010 in its campaign against whaling by Japanese fisheries. In October 2010, Sea Shepherd stated that Bob Barker had completed a major refit in Hobart, Tasmania.
