In this photo taken early Wednesday, Feb. 17, 2010 released by the Institute of Cetacean Research of Japan, anti-whaling group Sea Shepherd's ship Steve Irwin passes in front of the bow of the Japanese whaling ship Nisshin Maru in Antarctic Sea. The Steve Irwin attempted to disable the Nisshin Maru rudder and propeller by entwining a hawser it was towing, Japanese whalers said. (AP Photo/Institute of Cetacean Research)
