On this day, 14 March 1970, two American sailors aboard the SS Columbia Eagle, carrying 10,000 tons of napalm for the US military in Vietnam, mutinied in protest at the war and sailed the ship to Cambodia.
We have a podcast miniseries about the mutiny, in conversation with one of the rebel sailors, coming soon! Subscribe today to make sure you don’t miss it. Find us at https://ift.tt/2BgAa3F or on your favourite podcast app by searching “Working Class History”
