The final sinking
The Rainbow Warrior was refloated on 21 August 1985 and transported to Devonport Naval base in Auckland for detailed examination where a close analysis resulted in the reluctant decision by Greenpeace to scuttle the vessel, the damage being too extensive to repair.
After being towed to the Cavalli Islands she was finally put to rest.
