ANTI-WHALING campaigners hope to make their controversial "pirate" ship the Farley Mowat
a permanent attraction in Melbourne's waters.

The flagship of the anti-whaling group the Sea Shepherd Society is scheduled to arrive at
Docklands on Thursday after three months hunting Japanese whalers.

Sea Shepherd president Paul Watson said he hoped to convert the Farley Mowat into a whale
museum and keep it docked in Melbourne.

"If the Government wants to seize the (ship), then they can have it … but we would like to set
it up as a whale museum and whale education centre."
