Identify the event and the associated memorial.Answer: The sinking of the Greenpeace ship The Rainbow Warrior off the coast of Auckland by agents of the French government. While originally planned as a sabotage, it resulted in the accidental death of a photographer named Fernando Pereira. There was a major fallout between the French and New Zealand governments and this event went a long way towards shaping New Zealand's policy on nuclear weapons. Krithi, Matti Tapaninen, Prachi, Karthik, Mohan Phadnis, 2lrbl, Schmetterling, Corina and Rithwik got it. To the QM's intense delight, Iam guesses incorrectly. Well done.
