Wait, That Actually Happened? Mind-bending Historical Moments You Won’t Believe
Yellow Fleet of 1967
The Yellow Fleet was a once-in-a-lifetime event from 1967. Fifteen cargo ships were stranded in the Great Bitter Lake due to the closed Suez Canal during the Six-Day War between Israel and Arab nations and were stuck in the canal for eight years until it reopened in 1975.
The crew members founded their society, which included a newspaper, a mail service, sports activities, and even currency. The Yellow Fleet’s story represents solidarity and human resiliency in the face of adversity.
