En route it was attacked by the Chinese Communists and held hostage on the river for several months before the crew managed to make a daring escape.The 'Amethyst' captured news headlines around the world and became an unlikely symbol of the cold war in Asia. This dramatic episode, hailed in the West as a triumph of the human spirit but bitterly condemned by the Chinese Company.
