youtube/watch?v=eiH2FCFc7RI THE OFFSHORE RADIO YEARS VOLUME 11 Peace campaigner Abie Nathan, had the idea of setting up a radio station on which both Jews and Arabs could freely air their views. He purchased a Dutch freighter, renaming it Peace. The Voice of Peace took to the air on 26th May 1973, and for just over twenty years the radio station broadcast from somewhere in the Mediterranean. When an historic peace accord was signed between Palestine and Israel, Abie Nathan felt that he had at last achieved his aims, and closed the Voice of Peace. In November 1993, the MV Peace sailed on her final voyage, to a position fifteen miles off the Israeli coast. The sea valves were opened and the Peace ship slowly took in water, eventually sinking below the waves. htpp://offshoreechos 1974-2014 - Covering Offshore Radio News for 4 decades, this is OFFSHORE ECHOS
