i was having an experience which i'll 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 weren't there but don't parents i worried and i. know there's a worry in times really it was a wire in time for us not knowing and. 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's 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 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 is wish to walk in there like trapped on a ml's. what would happen who knows. nobody could tell us. that's what we have to live with. it was in a prison and as you were no way put you you couldn't go anywhere couldn't do anything. just to carry on. that's 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 mccourt's the house cries of off on a non indian one for an indian. who owns or let's. continue and confront dollars and bid on. who has come out. and i do it in touchy form duyvil home from karachi. to give it all stones or it may not aid in yemen or. petroleum name was a branched off in diesel fuel oil or didn't involve. target before v 8 and i become bia from my getting. industry. could kind but i'm going to

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 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 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 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 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 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 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 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. we're 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 fifth's in shifa via ziva divided jewish. as of the of the violent would have to go to shift and in don't go and it's 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 i'm.

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 didn't sleep much when i was 6 days. 6 days after the war began mr aziz 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 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 let's 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 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 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 didn't really. understand or appreciate what the dangers might have been at that point i just saw well ok. andy on this day i don't know if i know money i haven't 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 ship's 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. the oppression of an ethnic minority and me and my many. thing intention was to make sure that ruhi injures we're no longer entitled to either basic rights or citizenship rights in a new documentary al-jazeera explores the history and motives behind the systematic persecution after him and me and my. exile. on al-jazeera.

hello i'm on team denis in doha with the top stories here and out there the u.n. is calling for calm in the democratic republic of congo after hundreds of protesters in the eastern city of beni stormed un buildings and set fire to the mayor's office at least 4 people were killed the protests as say the u.n. has failed to protect them from rebel attacks the u.n. says it understands why people are angry but insists violence will solve nothing the secretary general special representative layla's ruki took part today in a meeting of the national security council chaired by the president with ministers

and military leaders she stressed that she understood the people's anger and frustration after further deadly attacks by militia known as the allied to democratic forces otherwise known as the a.d.f. the mission will work closely with the authorities to jointly find solutions for the people of benny. tensions in lebanon's capital beirut have escalated for a 2nd night in a row supporters of 2 movements boller and amal have been clashing with the anti government protesters hundreds of thousands of calling for a complete overhaul of the political system a u.s. charge is ordered for white house counsel don mcgann to appear before the impeachment inquiry is a setback for president trump's efforts to keep top aides from testifying and it could encourage democrats in the house of representatives to call on other high ranking officials to give evidence the justice department says it will appeal against the verdict mcgann was a witness in special counsel robert miller's investigation into russian election

medley. the number of people killed in landslides and flooding in northwestern kenya has now risen to 65 rescue workers have been sent to west pocket which is close to the border with uganda but they're being hindered by bad conditions. a politician from the chilean president's party has sparked outrage by suggesting that normality can't be restored without violating human rights so that are. made the remarks hours before another round of antigovernment protests demonstrators threw rocks at police vehicles they were met with water cannon and tear gas demonstrations began more than 2 months ago over a rise in metro fares and social inequality. al jazeera is that.

the yellow fleet was a convoy of merchant ship stranded in the sewage canal by the 1967 arab israeli war to survive their cruise lives in the cargo of food the ships were carrying. dead on up abundance 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 you know vietnam hong kong fill up in that come from a shale here in the world loaded with old salts a good china and about the same time as i was there the companies the ship owners had said look all 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 of the there's thousands of tons of rubble and bales of all of them but the stuff that was good for us in the canal

we were told that we could use so we had there have always knew better than that and in the hutchison they had found all sorts of books full of clothes. you know like one of the ships had been to vietnam and it was full of prolongs shelly and ships they were all full of frozen meat 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 there 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 and then the issue you just took an issue up in the middle of the lake with the

belt 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 cattle 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 where it all boxes about will go on and pays get them all. canned fruit you know which have been produced in australia to camden to ship and back so you see your doctor 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 got is whatever take that back. and that should change you can change. the. diamond on the can all after a couple years they cargoes within 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's and they realised that you know that was a limit as to how long they can afford to keep this these these color goes beyond reasonable condition the dead osc far a mission to try and ship those are colossal on the daleks ondrea and get them

shipped from there but there i understand that they actually i thought this would not follow that 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 our winter desert nights could be bitterly cold engines needed to be regularly service to ready for the eventual day when the ships would be released fuel supplies were also limited with no prospect. of replenishment.

bottles a. little. shift and stand. but one of its on hold the floor on the other on the thus far when the valves govern the ship i'm striking father 'd on the other. the little bit of use of the shift and stand. my father gave me once of either. the most amount of shift of muscle i can. know the sort i'll see on the. for the job at all for those of us on the ballot absolutely. on 10 descends on figure living as on some calm. victory for the machine that doesn't leave just one then the house the farm come to us avoid does for us 50 so. there's a very heated moment i mud and i go. i'm saying if on the farm you're going to be

mostly the mother if the mid-month so get outside i'm still does i'm going to the a cut in the house the phone then that come all our office know. my responsibilities and board the ship were to ensure that all the electrical apparatus and electronic operettas on board the ship which kept an 1st class working order because we expected to be either sick and anyday. so had we gone to another port from the canal 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 routine judi's 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 but to make the crews 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. we were very much a community because there were only $27.00 people on board our ship and many of the other ships had we just screwed like that at 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 their 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 the call that they got it but only 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 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 there 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 can hole and indeed over the years i must have been like a 1000 people who had been there. and they were all invited to join the g.p.l. there was diplomats in those agents of us all sorts of people you name them a lot lots and lots of the media crews come out to have to interview and especially with senior politicians and then the senior politician has created good did time for us to cana. i have a whole lot of them other things that we didn't like can things that both like to

see changed every day and they use questions no 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 and it was quite good not to speak to. the g b l a continued through the time that their ships were stuck in the canal and this whole sorts of things organized via through the media that we had a limp big games being held in mexico 960 to think and so the pool ships decided to of a many ellen picks and of course they are going i guess that that whole lost all sorts of things.

you know with as you like the i give my nod because up there most of us mountain and thus the sense of them get out some of them. want to avoid a of. a motor quest come on mom. often given the same people hope you bosy good as a family of us that is good for them. that's what i was going. on for you did it's a fluke of the hero medallion. and the cup is about mythology not myth of the from the exhibit duggan's a go none of you have one go under but that's money in the middle job you're not with the argument on the medallion given i'll supply golson. to some people wouldn't. i decided i was ill but i don't say gold people not able to be.

in the middle in front of it. 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 of their own and this was trying to set an identity we had a little in stamps and over the years there was hundreds of those stumps development they could use they were made initially just drawn by hand and the cadets on the ship would quit color them in their various colossal felt and bands would have a hand. but after that then i know 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 stump the monkey shit and those stops were sent on to the

mail going back to the u.k. and they became quite international a new one and a collector's item because of the fact that some of those stamps went just white america still yeah all of a britain germany france using those stamps which were homemade we would never show any 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 stops and the egyptian authorities would frank the us and send them on down gyptian postal authorities or we would put on a g.b. l e stamps and then give them to do a command but who was going to germany and the states whatever and he would push them at home.

fast forward 6 years egypt and syria decided to launch a 2 fronted coordinated attack to regain the territory they lost in 1967 the arab israeli war of a tobar 973 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 journey 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 gentlemen ships on the 7th of june 1975 they started their engines set a northerly course and set sail for homburg but 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
