Gaza journey of MV Rachel Corrie, Maritime aid mission from Ireland to Gaza, Palestine

MV Rachel Corrie was a cargo ship that sailed from Ireland to Gaza in 2010 carrying humanitarian supplies for civilian use. The vessel transported cement, educational materials, and medical equipment intended for local communities.

The ship departed on May 31, 2010, as part of an international mission to deliver humanitarian cargo to Gaza. It sailed from Dundalk in Ireland after experiencing mechanical difficulties that delayed its journey.

Nobel Peace Prize recipient Máiread Maguire joined eleven international passengers, including former UN Assistant Secretary-General Denis Halliday on this humanitarian mission.

The ship was intercepted before reaching Gaza and diverted to another port for cargo inspection procedures. Visitors interested in this journey can explore documented accounts and records of what occurred during the voyage.

The vessel had been known by a different name before it was renamed to honor an American activist involved in aid work. The name change reflected the mission's commitment to remembering those dedicated to humanitarian causes.
