Ten Ships Leave Haiphong Harbor After Minefield Maps
Washington AP Ten of 26 communist ships trapped in Haiphong harbor since the mining of North Vietnamese ports last May have left after the United States provided mine field charts. Pentagon spokesman Jerry Friedheim said the map alone could not ensure safe passage and the first ship’s risk prompted others to follow. Pentagon sources said the vessels were reportedly empty and rode high in the water hugging the shallower channel edge to avoid mines.
