First Israeli Ship Through SeatvayIs Boast of Tamar and Its Crew
Delayed for nearly two weeks,
the CM Tamar, first ship flying
the Israeli flag through the St.
Lawrence Seaway, docked in De-
troit on Monday.
The Tamar and its all-Israeli
crew dropped a cargo of flat
glass, hard board, wine and oth-
er commodities, and picked up
cars, hides and asbestos to bring
back to the Jewish state.

The, Dutch-built Tamar is
scheduled to return here some-
time early in August. Three
other Israeli ships are expected
here also—the Galila, the Yar-
den and the Amal, each of
which will traverse the St. Law-
rence this summer.
In addition to carrying freight,
the Tamar and her sister ships
maintain accommodations for 12
passengers who wish to travel
leisurely to Israel on a cruise
of four to six weeks, with stop-
overs in about 12 ports.
