What do 15 International cargo ships do when they've find themselves stuck in the middle of a warring blockade? Create their own micronation while they wait the war out! This week is the story of the Yellow Fleet in 1967, who found themselves blockaded in the middle of the Suez Canal in the middle of two warring countries. Join us this week to find out how long this lasted for the sailors, what they did with all of their "down" time, and even how they created their own version of the Olympics to keep themselves entertained!
