Vietnam Ho Chi Minh Trail at Sea commemorations
Overview
Vietnam is marking the 65th anniversary of the opening of the Ho Chi Minh Trail at Sea, a strategic maritime transport route established in 1961. The route, originally operated by Military Transport Unit 759 and later Naval Brigade 125, was critical for transporting weapons and personnel to support the southern battlefield between 1961 and 1975.
To commemorate the anniversary, the Vietnam News Agency Publishing House released a 288-page bilingual photo book titled ‘Legend of the Ho Chi Minh Trail at Sea’. The publication documents the route’s history through photographs, maps, and graphics, spanning from its formation in 1946 to its modern continuation by the Vietnam People’s Navy.
Veterans have gathered to honor the mission’s legacy. Accounts from participants highlight the role of pioneering vessels, such as the wooden Ship 41, which successfully delivered 28 tonnes of weapons from Hai Phong to Ca Mau. Ship 41 was later renamed HQ-671 and received the title of Hero of the People’s Armed Forces.
