Summary / Abstract :
On Monday, May 12, Cambodian ships boarded the Mayaguez, an American merchant ship. The state department claimed the Cambodian action an "act of piracy," insisting the Mayaguez was on the hight seas. There is some question where the Mayaguez was when boarded. It seems likely it was written disputed waters, just off an Island to which both Cambodia and South Vietnam lay claim. Was the seizure unasual? No, the Cambodian had halted other ships in the area and the U.S, had it been seeking to avoid trouble at this moment, would have urged all U.S shipping to keep well clear of disputed waters.
