Mavi Mamara picture :: Reader comments at Daniel Pipes

Submitted by Michael Beer (United Kingdom), Mar 23, 2013 at 06:36

Great article. But I don't think the picture is accurately tagged. The Mavi Mamara of the free Palestine flotilla is a much larger vessel. Pictures here

The vessel pictured appears to be the Yeni Ahmet something,. but it interesting to see the Mavi Mamara website poster.
