I was having an experience which ill never ever forget i was 19 years old at the time. And it was quite a surprise to find myself in russia in the middle of a war the front seat literally. Numbers werent there but dont parents i worried and i. Know theres a worry in times really it was a wire in time for us not knowing and. If and when were going to get out and it was very worrying for the parents as well or you know. Their sons or husbands and all that was going to come out because of the way the war was going but once it was over theres just a waiting game. During this conflict there was a bit of anxiety because if youre in the middle of a war trapped there you dont really know which side accidentally could hit your ship so its quite scary times and it wasnt a glorious place to be obviously when you see a conflict like that and you watch it on the televisions there on the television or film war looks glorious book to be honest it is not it is completely horrific. We dont know if the israelis are going to push further from where they stopped on the sinai site further into egypt or we dont know alls we know is wish to walk in there like trapped on a mls. What would happen who knows. Nobody could tell us. Thats what we have to live with. It was in a prison and as you were no way put you you couldnt go anywhere couldnt do anything. Just to carry on. Thats an. Opened 150 years ago to connect the mediterranean with the red sea the suez canal is a remarkable engineering achievement. However one a vent in the storied history of suez remains largely untold how in 196714 cargo ships unwittingly sailed into war not to emerge for another 8 long years. Those manning the ships were neither prisoners nor hostages most came and went every few months but they did succeed in building a baritone Community Like no other. With their ships left in splendid isolation and unable to leave the suez canal base stablished their own unofficial micro nation complete with traditions sporting competitions and even postage stamps. They try to make the best of the situation in the great better late a particularly wide section of the canal so called because of its high salt content. Emergency men were not remotely experts on the conflict into which they landed theirs was a world of engines and curves and ropes navigation was their strength and war was alien to them yet they found themselves surrounded by the bitterest of enemies in a confrontation that was none of their making. As months 20 years their cargo ships became covered in fine desert sand which from a distance gave the flotilla a distinct yellow color as a result of the vessels became known as the yellow fleet. And i miss her i know clearly meant. Spy and other. Stood on its fight off its year holstered shifts north and. North and a new more start. New and soon. To reach modest mccourts the house cries of off on a non indian one for an indian. Who owns or lets. Continue and confront dollars and bid on. Who has come out.

My name is sean dring i was an able seaman on the m. V. Which was a british cargo ship which predominantly sailed to Australia New Zealand from the u. K. Taken general congo there im bringing back vegetables fruit meat back to the u. K. Has basically run. On this particular journey we had been out. To australia and. Back for the united kingdom. We left fremantle. To cross the. Indian ocean on comin through aden. They cannot. When we arrived at the. Southern end. The vessels were more outside on a convoy of 14 ships would commence the next day phase slice through a little bit of a lake and then we would progress the journey through to port site which is roughly a 24 hour journey on not mourning. Under convoy began to move into the base a late. This was the cold war a time of great tension between the superpowers of east and west rumors intelligence and espionage with occurrences of the day. And on the 13th of may 967. 00 soviet intelligence warned of an imminent attack by israel the attack they said might begin on the syrian front where israel had assembled troops. Egypt which at the time had a Defense Agreement with this syrian our eyes prepared for battle. These were extremely tense times in the region a decade earlier in 1956 the serbs crisis had seen israel invade the Sinai Peninsula part of egypt in a conflict that drew in the worlds major powers. A large number of egyptian Ground Forces crossed the suez canal and dug in of the Sinai Peninsula israels response was to put its own army on to a state of alert. 11 years later on the 22nd of may 967 egypt closed 2 israeli ships access to the straits of tiran a strategic waterway leading to the port of elat in the south of israel. The next day egypt also close the entrance to the gulf of aqaba to all ships carrying the israeli flag as well as to International Oil tankers bound for a lot the rhetoric between both sides ramped up and war appeared to be imminent. But to crewmen on a brief supply stop in aden now part of yemen the geopolitics of the middle east. Were not uppermost in their minds. On the way home from the far east we bunkered we stopped in aden and bunkered there to pick up fresh water in oil and we picked up some supplies there as well. During this time the 6 engineer and i decided we were asked the chief if we go ashore just for a last minute bit of shopping before we go into the suez canal and at the red sea. As a result of that we were on shore and we met a couple of british soldiers marines and they were on patrol and they said to us i think you to a better get back to ship because its going to kick off around here we didnt really know what that meant so we went back to the ship. Anyway we 21 queen in aden with the oil and water and supplies and we headed up the red sea i think it was before we went up there and see or join this time we had a meeting with the ships officers and the captain and they knew something was going wrong but they said should we carry on they took a vote whether they should carry on up to the suez canal or turn around and go back round. The bottom end of africa however where my personal vote was carry on. For me. Into the sun through for 4 or. Vice president you had me into hudden via and as i did to become machines i did you know for golf could know my advice and also i know of it and gotten on innovated. Were just trying to do the test from. Justice woods who tried. To get. The views invite out of your shift for lagaan i go around frist as all get 20 fifths in shifa via ziva divided jewish. As of the of the violent would have to go to shift and in dont go and its kind of lifted off the conduct among artists and if so then to make an on say seat on to us and. Could not figure in it or not so now if im. Going to shift this somalian on all sports nuts now from. Off to my not to model resident. Something. Less than a month afterwards shipping was barred from the straits of tiran israel launched a series of attacks on egypt and positions triggering the 96076. 00 day arab israeli war which drew in not just egypt but also syria and jordan it was monday the 5th of june 1967. I was on the watch when all of a sudden we had an amazing noise of a jet engine and as we looked up. We seen a formation of sri fighter planes coming across from the sinai side just above must fight and flew between ourselves the last 4 ships to sri planes crossed they immediately climb to High Altitude and as we looked at them they began to do what we now know was a means of blowing up the wrong way at the airport or the air force base. We could see it was less than a mile and a quarter way out than oculus we watched the jets bombed a long ways 1st and then they israeli warplanes which were parked all by the hangars was then attacked those 3 awful nation of 3 israeli jets one state dropped their payload they came back across just towards sinai again again very very low on must tice and then across battle the sinai no sooner had they gone done another wave of sre came in and did exactly the same. And we watched these formations over the next. Couple of alice every 4 minutes 5 minutes they would be that common a crush do an option is it looks damages sacred to the Egyptian Air Force base which they literally obliterated. Oh all. While the war was going on her we just sister just saw everything that was going on because it was only a mile from the s. 1000000 rampal as i recall the planes were. We shore are very big so let me know at times we stayed out on deck and we was just watching the the battle going on shore saw it round rand is mayor and the surrounding areas we watched her with a trace of bullets go to red bullets we could there would be explosions gharyan and also but the catalyst there was said to us you know your place be careful so we still watched it so we really didnt sleep much when i was 6 days. 6 days after the war began mr aziz ceased israeli tanks and troops attacking egypts Sinai Peninsula reached this it was canal israeli troops stood in the eastern side of the waterway gyptian forces were massed on the western side in a standoff that gave both control of traffic on the canal. The egyptians reacted by closing the suez canal their goal was to physically prevent israel from having access to the canal so all ships were scuttled to make the canal impossible passenger ships would be allowed to complete their journeys but cargo vessels could go no further than the great better laid bare they were instructed to drop anchor and wait for further developments this decision brought together 14 ships of different flags for british 2 west german 2 polish 2 from sweden one french one czechoslovakia and one bulgarian and an american vessel war and politics at. Unwittingly assembled the young fleet. We became trapped because we. Very soon afterwards within a matter of days that a dread at being sunk it seemed to us training open or close on it at the North Entrance and as we understood it the that probably done the same thing to the south of us so the audio of us making in the sky Something Like that sunny to the south seemed to good to know that there was probably no possibility whatsoever. There was news suddenly navigations it was new and definite no telephone tone and i thought and it was days the only thing it we had us that i mean ships radio but you could communicate all over the world with. The nfl dot this last stop by the egyptian authorities to stop us using that because lets face it we could possibly have sent in a lot entered nation as to what was going on so we bombed allowed to do that and to stop us from doing the we had a policeman and boarded ship and his job was to look after the interests of the egyptian authorities and ensure that we did not use out radio. Shortly after we were there the captain of our ship thought we do need to get in touch with these other people and he made it his business to get in the lifeboat because the light boat was our taxi we lowered the ships like guy who got in our taxi and went right to all the other ships and suggested to those people where to make the best of this possibly cause. The all agreed that this would be a really good idea from following on from not then they came up with another a new. Amber of unique ideas as to why they could best improve life for everybody on the lake. One of the lifeboats manned by one of the officer aboard the ship went to the israeli side and i think that they were taken in a shore by the israelis and sent back to london so at all costs we stead of the israeli side but there was an occasion and the early days when women died that a memo came from the egyptian side to say that any of the any of the boats sailing side the perimeter of the ships in the canal will be shot upon. A couple of months past weve been told that the International Red cross were trying to talk to both parties egyptians and israelis. About what they could do for the crews who were trapped. The captain had decided that if we could keep push kalitan crew on board. Then the rest of the crew could be repatriated. On the egyptian authorities and the israelis authorities allowed and then call it all from athens through to cairo. I was one of the Skeleton Crew of the young man i was 20 was a seaman an old the captain swung to the dot. In the event that. The canal would open we just needed sufficient crew to mount the vessel and take it out to port side on the mediterranean side and. I didnt really. Understand or appreciate what the dangers might have been at that point i just saw well ok. Andy on this day i dont know if i know money i havent got children or old age you know yet it should be me that stays here for half a lover or however long it takes for this conflict to end i had no idea it was going to end up the way it did. As the guns fell silent what to do with the 14 cargo ships stranded in the middle of the canal became a problem that neither egypt or israel was willing or able to resolve. The sailors on board seemed destined to be passionately marooned in this isolated desert waterway communication with the outside world was tightly controlled with radio calls restricted to medical emergencies. The ships owners made a decision to rotate the crews so after 4 months or more each merchant seamen would be replaced even though there was little work to do apart from basic maintenance all the sailors continue to receive their food wages. Coming up in part to be yellow fleet crews devised different ways some quite ingenious to improve conditions on board. The way had a lot of big games spin elden mexico 968. 00 i think and so the pull the ships decided to of a many element thanks and of course they are gonna start that all off all sorts of things.
