We present VLA C and D array neutral hydrogen observations of the Seyfert galaxy NCG 3227. The neutral gas is highly disturbed due to the interaction with the nearby elliptical, NGC 3226 and D array observations (with resolution of 40″ and velocity resolution of 40 kms−1) revealed 2 extensive plumes stretching 88 kpc south and 44kpc north of NGC3227. Complex dynamics were observed in the disk, which subsequent C array observations (resolution of 19″ and 20 kms−1) resolved into two components: the galactic disk, which is not significantly disrupted by the interaction and is undergoing predominantly solid body rotation out to a radius of 7 kpc, and an anomalous velocity cloud (with a velocity of 170 kms−1 above systemic) which appears to be associated with the northern plume.
