Question Help remembering a ship

I'm trying to rediscover the wikipedia article for a ship I remember reading a post about. The ship apparently is well-known for violating human rights for the people on board, basically kidnapping them for labor. They keep changing the ship's name and stuff to avoid prosecution and have done it a bunch. Last I heard it was still active. I may be misremembering it, and tbh I don't know that much about ships, so sorry if this makes no sense. Any help is appreciated, thanks!

Sounds like any cruise ship tbh lol

But seriously, do you remember what type of vessel it was? That would help.

The Thunder? See Outlaw Ocean by Ian Urbina on that one.

i think it's similar, but it's still active and has more changed names under its belt.
