By John Donovan
I have just started a petition on change.org asking Edward Heerema, the owner of Allseas Group SA, to change the name of his new ship currently named in honour of his Nazi war criminal father, shown right in his Waffen SS uniform.
If you share my disgust, you can support the petition here
