OverviewThe ship is an Island class patrol boat built by Bollinger Shipyards, Lockport, Louisiana and first launched in 1991 as the U.S. Coast Guard cutter Bainbridge Island. After 22 years of service, it was retired in a ceremony in New Jersey on 17 March 2014.[1] The vessel was purchased for $141,625[4] and was donated to Sea Shepherd Conservation Society by biotech businessman Chris Sharp, and it was presented at a press conference on 11 December 2017 in Miami, Florida. The vessel was renamed MV Sharpie, named after its donor. She is a 34 m (112 ft) cutter powered by two caterpillar diesel engines and can travel at a maximum speed of 29.5 knots (54.6 km/h) with a range of 3,300 nmi (6,112 km). See also
