This photo provided by the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society shows the sheared off bow of the Ady Gil, a high-tech speed boat that resembles a stealth bomber after a collision with a Japanese whaling ship in the frigid waters of Antarctica on Wednesday Jan. 6, 2010. The conservation group said its vessel had its bow sheared off after it was hit by the Shonan Maru, background, near Commonwealth Bay. The clash was the most serious in the past several years, during which the Sea Shepherd has sent vessels into far-southern waters to try to harass the Japanese fleet into ceasing its annual whale hunt. Crew member Laurens De Groot is seen on top of the vessel. (AP Photo/Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, JoAnne McArthur) By Rohan Sullivan
