Peace Boat, Liverpool

Peace Boat's first voyage was organized in 1983 by a group of Japanese university students as a creative response to government censorship regarding Japan's past military aggression in the Asia-Pacific. They chartered a ship to visit neighbouring countries with the aim of learning first-hand about the war from those who experienced it and initiating people-to-people exchange.

 

Peace Boat's 99th Global Voyage for Peace departed from Yokohama, Japan on September 1st 2018 and will return on December 17th 2018 after visiting as many as 24 ports in 23 countries.
