Master and Commander
Complete List of Sea Shepherd Voyages
1979 - 2008
Captain Paul Watson has over four decades of experience at sea, and more than two decades as
Master and Commander of Sea Shepherd Conservation Society voyages to protect, defend, and
conserve the Earth's wild oceans.
He earned his experience in the Norwegian and Swedish Merchant Marine in the sixties and early
seventies, and served as First Officer on Greenpeace voyages between 1971 and 1976.
Since 1979, he has commanded over 200 primarily offshore voyages in storms, ice packs, through canals
and treacherous currents, and dangerous confrontations without a single accident or a single injury to his
crew or to anyone else. In fact, on many occasions he has commanded two ships simultaneously,
relaying orders to a subordinate captain when it has been necessary to deploy two ships at once.
Captain Watson is a sea captain in the truly traditional sense where he is the master and commander of
his own ships and is not dictated to by a corporate Board. He makes the decisions and he bears the full
responsibility for his actions.
In 1994, Sea Shepherd acquired a miniature submarine Mirage. A spokesperson for the Canadian Navy
publicly stated that no one at Sea Shepherd knew anything about operating a submarine and it was
ridiculous for Sea Shepherd to acquire one. He guaranteed that someone would be hurt.
Captain Paul Watson responded to the Canadian Naval spokesperson at the time by saying:
"Since World War II, the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society has boarded more ships, rammed
more ships, engaged in more high seas confrontations and sunk more ships than the Canadian
Navy. They are hardly in a position to presume to judge what we are competent or capable of
doing."
Our record speaks for itself: All these years later still no injuries.
So that others may appreciate the depth of experience that Captain Watson has as a master mariner, the
Society is posting on the website, the complete sailing record of Sea Shepherd voyages.
Without a doubt, the Sea Shepherd is the most experienced marine wildlife conservation interventionist
organization in the world, and Captain Watson is the single most experienced marine conservation sea
captain on the high seas today.
