Gaza journey of MV Rachel Corrie, Maritime aid mission from Ireland to Gaza, Palestine
The MV Rachel Corrie carried 550 tons of cement, educational materials, and medical equipment during its 2010 voyage from Dundalk to Gaza.
The vessel sailed on May 31, 2010, as part of the Gaza Freedom Flotilla, following mechanical delays that separated it from the main group.
Nobel Peace Prize recipient Máiread Maguire joined eleven international passengers, including former UN Assistant Secretary-General Denis Halliday on this humanitarian mission.
Israeli forces intercepted the ship 30 kilometers from Gaza, redirecting it to Ashdod port for mandatory security inspection of its humanitarian cargo.
The 68-meter cargo ship, previously named Carsten, underwent multiple identity changes before its final designation honoring an American activist.
