their early. i was having an experience which all 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 were parents i worried and i. nerd because they were in time really it was a worrying time for us. not knowing. if and when we're 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 there was just a waiting game. during this conflict there was a bit of anxiety because if you're in the middle of a war trapped there you don't really know which side accidentally could hit your ship so it's quite scary times and it wasn't

a glorious place to be obviously when you see a conflict like that and you watch it on the televisions there are on the television or film war looks glorious book to be honest it is not it is completely horrific. we don't know if the israelis are going to push further from where they stopped on the sinai site further into egypt or we don't know alls we know which way stuck in there like trapped animals. what would happen who knows. nobody could tell us. that's what we have to live with. it was in a prison as you would know it but usually you couldn't go anywhere couldn't do anything. just to carry on. that said.

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 $196714.00 cargo ships unwittingly. sailed into a war not to emerge but 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 bay stablish their own unofficial micro nation complete with traditions sporting competitions and even postage stamps. they tried 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 . the merchant seamen 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 i know crazy men. spy and other. stood on to fight off its year host of shifts north and. north and

the m.v. . which was a british cargo ship which predominantly sailed to australia new zealand from the u.k. . taken general congo there i'm bringing back vegetables fruit meat back to the u.k. has basically run. on this particular journey. to australia and. back for the united kingdom. we left fremantle. to cross the. indian ocean on comin through aden. they. when we arrived at the. southern end the vessels were more outside on

a convoy of 14 ships would commence the next day face slice through the little bit to lake 100 m. we would progress the journey through to port site which is roughly 24. well not morning. on the 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 that 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 world's major powers. a large number of egyptian ground forces crossed the suez canal and dug in of the sinai peninsula israel's 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 a lot 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 appear to be imminent. but to crewman 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. and 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 it's going to kick off around here we didn't really know what that meant so we went back to the ship. anyway we finished green 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 ship's 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 sous canal or turn around and go back round. the bottom end of africa however my personal vote was carry on.

for me. into the sun through for for. the president you had me into and as i did become trapped machines i did you know forgot vast a lot of it in torture and on and of it. does this war to tried to it's fishing to get. views invite a shift shift lag and i go. rhymefest 00 get 20 fifth's in shifa vs ziva vida do is given as of the of the violent risk would have to go to shift and in doing good it's kind of lifted off the conduct among artists nish tzin to make an on say seat on to us and tom. could not fix. it or not so now if i'm. going to shift his somalian

or reports in knots an hour from. off to my not immortal because it no i try to put. less than a month out of it 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 watch when all of a sudden we had an amazing noise of a jet engine and as we looked up. we see in

a formation of sri fighter planes coming across from the sinai side just above must fight and flew between ourselves the last 4 ships the 3 planes crossed they immediately climb show high altitude and as we looked out the. they began to do what we now know was a means of blowing up the wrong way at the airports or the air force base. when. we could

see it 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 survey came in and did exactly the same and we watched these formations over the next. a couple of alice every 4 minutes 5 minutes they would be comin across do an option as much damage is sacred

to the egyptian air force base which they literally obliterated. oh all. while the war was going on where you just said just saw everything that was going on because it was only a mile from the airport it's irish all the planes we saw. everything except the main know at times we stayed out on deck and we was just watching there the battle going on shore sides ran round malaria and the surrounding areas we watched it with a trace of bullets code red bullets we could hear what the explosions gharyan and

also but the captives there was said to us in our place be careful so. we still watched it so we really didn't sleep much when i was 6 days. 6 days after the war began listed as he's ceased israeli tanks and troops attacking egypt's 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 lay there 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 and unwittingly assembled the yellow fleet. they turned out we became trapped because we noticed very soon afterwards within a matter of days that a drench at been sunk it seemed to us training although not close on it at the

northern entrance and as we understood it the that probably done the same thing to the south of us so the idea of us making an escape something like that sudden. to the south seemed to good to know that there was probably no possibility whatsoever . there was news suddenly navigations there was new and down and no telephone tone and i thought in the misty's the only thing that we had was that the main ship's radio but you could communicate all over the world with. that business locked up by the egyptian authorities to stop us using them because let's face it we could possibly have sent in a lot enter mission as to what was going on so we bombed allowed to do that and to stop us from doing the we had a policeman on board that ship and his job was to look after the interests of the

egyptian authorities and ensure that we did not use the trade you. 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 into all the other ships and suggested to those people where to make the best of this up we possibly count on the all agreed that this would be a really good idea from following on from not then they came up with another a number of unique ideas as to why they could best improve life for everybody on the lake. when if the lifeboats manned by one of the officer aboard the ship went to the israeli side and i think that they were taken 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 this any of the boats sailing site the perimeter of the ships in the canal will be shot upon. a couple of months past we've 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 a skeleton 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 captain strong to. any advances 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. i didn't really. understand or appreciate what the dangers might have been at that point i just saw well ok under your wrist i don't know money to i haven't got children or i'm not old you know yet it should be me that stays here forever 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. that neither egypt nor israel was willing or able to resolve. the sailors on board seemed destined to be patently marooned in this isolated desert waterway communication with the outside world was tightly controlled with radio calls restricted to medical emergencies. the ship's owners made a decision to rotate the crews so after 4 months of war 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 the yellow fleet crews devised different ways some quite ingenious to improve conditions on board. the we had a lot of big games being held in mexico $968.00 i think and so the pull the ships decided to and many a lympics and of course they are gonna start that all off all sorts of things. out just there is investigative unit goes undercover in the caribbean we don't know if they were bribed with if you don't get a fair piece of shit exposing trade and diplomatic passports today it's 250 hot the price for good of involving some of the region's highest officials.

b.l.o. fleet was

a convoy of merchant ship stranded in the su is cannot but the 967 arab israeli war to survive their crews lived in the cargo of food this ships were carrying. dead and up bundles of things that way of edible stuff that we heard us cargoes on the ships remember the ships came from all over the far east nashville area that come from vietnam hong kong fell up in that come from shale here in the world loaded with old salts of good china and about the same time as i was there the companies the ship owners had said look the whole this cargo is going to be a construct of total loss it will not be used again you know there was things like a robot and t. i mean there's thousands of tons of tea and cases at the there's thousands of tons of rubble and bales of all but the stuff that was good for us in the canal we were

told that we could use so we had that have always super and and and the hutchison lee had found all sorts of books is full of clothes. you know like one of the ships had been defeated nominet was full of prolongs the shelley and ships they were all full of frozen meat can all lawman stuff like that so we didn't go we didn't go short with this you know the way they were all the stuff was handed around the leak you know so that was really no problem at all when. if your ship if you was on. the american ship as an example and you didn't have any fresh fruit because you could get skinned scabby if you don't it in then the issue is just stuck in this ship in the middle of the lake with down all

the time so your captain would have spoke to my captain and said look can you send some can you give me some of your cargo because we can't miss it's about sustaining life so we will go and open the hatches down below open the fridge is get out for carcasses of lamb go and open the fridge goes to where all the apples lay it all boxes of apples on it pays to get them all. canned fruit you know which have been produced in australia in camden nj to ship it back to you to europe till you get. a lifeboat would be down in the water basically to its goals what we would put in to take to your ship to give you and then you would want to thank us for that. so you would say well look the only thing i go is whatever

take that back. and dutch change you can change. your mind on the can all after a couple years they cargoes with and the holes of the ships was deteriorating and in particular on they ships had to come from australia they had they had frozen food disk it was costing a lot of money every day to keep the phasers going to keep the stuff coal they also had lots of things like poles and children and they realised that you know there was a limit as to how long they can afford to keep this these these color goes beyond reasonable condition the dead osc far amission the time and ship there was a colossal on the daleks andrea and get them shipped from there but there i

understand that they actually i thought this would not follow that the dolphin. so the decision was made to try and get rid of that stuff we had there with no option but to dump a lot of the side special fed the fish if nothing else you know. as munster did 2 years maintaining those ships became increasingly difficult temperatures in summer would touch 50 celsius winter desert nights could be bitterly cold engines needed to be regularly serviced ready for the eventual day when the ships would be released fuel supplies were also limited with no prospect. of replenishment.

the far bottles are. a little. stiff and stunned howden the mother of inks and mother home soil and on the world on the dust. and allow the governor. so if i'm strong you can leave father 'd on the water. the little bit of use of a shift and stand out. among the 5 again ones of arda. the most amount of shift of muscle i can. know the sort i'll see on the also for the job at all for those of us on the ballot helps at least. on 10 descends on figure when i was on some cong. victory for the machine at the scene leave just one then the house of harm come to us avoid the fall of 50 so you know it was a very heated moment i'm odd and i'm go. i'm saying if on the farm you're going to

be mostly the money for them that month so get outside i'm still into the encounter via couldn't the house of on the come out of a snow. my responsibilities and board the ship were to ensure that all the electrical apparatus and electronic operettas on board the ship was kept and 1st class working order because we expected to be either the canal any day so had be gone to another port from the canal they had the ship's deck officers would have expected all the electronic equipment electrical equipment to unload the cargo so even though we were in the canal i still had to do what we then called rig team duty to ensure that everything was checked that it was working and it was in good order.

with little to do apart from maintaining the vessels the crews could only look on at events around the. israelis continue to occupy the sinai peninsula and despite a widespread condemnation from the international community showed no signs of leaving. over the next 3 years clashes continue to east of the canal some involving aircraft and heavy artillery along the ceasefire line in the sinai both sides suffered casualties in what became a political stalemate. at this time the suez canal remained closed to all traffic in both directions. while heavy clashes continued in the region east of the canal the world was focused on global politics the cold war was at its height and the fate of 14 ships stranded in a white section of the su is canal was not an international priority. the plight of

the yellow fleet had slipped off the news agenda months dragged on and the 14 ships remained a dying company great britain make the cruise realize that their best option was to create a spirit of international cooperation and a stark contrast to events in the wider world friendships were formed as well as the great to better and bake association the g.p. l f. we were very much a community because there were only 27 people on board our ship and many of the other ships had we just screwed like that the company didn't have a full compliment which would have been about 70 personnel on board a ship but we were down to 28 though it was necessary then to make friends with all the other ships with the american ships and the swedish ships and the polish arabs and the other british ships so it was very important that we got in touch with then and made

a good relationship with them. not long after the ships arrived they stopped at this but they called it they got it but at least association the concept was developed by one of the last of the blue funnel ships and the muscle of the swedish ship cholera and they thought this would be on a good idea to set something up for the welfare of the crews and just give them something to do. i was contacted by mr jim starkey who was a captain on at one time on board the port of a cargo and he suggested that we all should get together to form

a group called the great better lakes association. which i was very happy to join and in joining that i got a nice tie with a little lanka round it in the 14 ships which were very proud of and i got a badge for my car and regular correspondence from all the people who'd been in the lakes at that time. anyone could join the g.b. elliott anyone who went to the canal and indeed over the years i must have been like about a 1000 people who had been there. and they were all invited to join the g.p.l. that was diplomats and those. agents of us all sorts of people you name them a lot lots and lots of the media crews come out there to interview and especially with senior politicians and the senior politicians was great a good did time for us to cana. i have a lot of them other things that we didn't like can things that both like to see

changed every day and these questions know they went to the head a government and you can look it up we got an unsound from a lot so and so a lot since you know it was quite good not to speak. the g.p.l. a continued through the time that their ships were stuck in the canal and the whole sorts of things organized via through that medium we had a limp big games being held in mexico in 1960 to think and so the pool ships decided to of a many ellen picks and of course they are gone i guess that that whole last hole saw something.

below what as if you like the i'll give mine though because up there most of us mountain and thus the 10 through them gives out some of them. want to avoid a of. a motive for us come on mom. far from giving city people hope you bosy good as opium deficit is good for them. that's what i was going. on for you did it if you got flu hero medallion. in the cup visit i'm a dog you're not mitt the from the of the of a dog and say go none of you have one go under but there is money in the mood we are not with the argument of the medallion given i'll supply goes on. to some people would be my. eyes id 0 but on so good he will not be able to sleep if you. do but are you in for to.

when they started this g b l e mail home with a little bit difficult at times for the crew on there developed some stumps the idea was that we did not belong to israel but didn't belong to egypt who had a community on a road and this was trying to set identity we had it all in stamps and over the years it was hundreds of those stumps developed by the could use they were made initially just drawn by hand and the cadets on the ship would quit color them in their various colors with felt them pincer never had. but after that they're not new in my time we had we did them either on a piece of a little linoleum all we did them on like i don't know is a robot with a cut that they could stop them on to the ship and those stops were sent on to the

mail going back to the u.k. and they became quite international a new one and i clicked item because of the fact that some of those stamps went just white america celia all of a britain germany france using those stamps which were homemade we were never shown to show off if the mail would go home just using those. so there's 2 other ways we did it we put on egyptian stamps as well along with our own stamps and gyptian authorities with frank the us and send them on them gyptian postal authorities or we would put on a g b l e stamps and then give them to do a crew member who was going to germany and all the states whatever and he would push them a tome. fast

forward 6 years egypt and syria decided to launch a 2 fronted coordinated attack to regain the territory they lost in 1970. the arab israeli war of the tober $973.00 saw egyptian forces crossing the suez canal and re entering this sinai peninsula shipping companies had been denied access to the suez canal watched events unfold with interest with egypt in control of both

banks of the canal they saw positive signs that the waterway would after 6 years of closure finally be reopened. sailors in the 14 ships of the yellow fleet could only watch on hoping the canal would be reopened and their ships finally allowed to complete their journeys however escape from their desert seclusion would take time engineers spent 2 years removing sunken barricades at both ends of the canal 80 years had also taken their toll on the ships and for the majority traveling under their own power would prove impossible only with the help of tugs and cranes could they be moved the exception was the 2 german ships on the 7th of june 1975 they started their engines set a northerly course and set sail for homburg with their cargo of metal and minerals in doing so they set a record for the longest sea shipping voyage in history 80 years 3 months and 5
