John Ellis writes: "It was traditional in the peace and environmental movements to protest against the docking of nuclear-armed or powered ships of any nation. These activities were attended sometimes by large gatherings but on other occasions only a handful of people would be involved. However, it was important that a show of resistance was shown. The maritime unions consistently refused to dock or assist these vessels and although the State of Victoria was proclaimed a nuclear-free State these ships still berthed here but under their own steam."Access StatusOpen for public accessRequest TypeRequest itemCopyright StatusUniversity copyrightConditions of Use and ReproductionCopyright owned by University of Melbourne Archives.
