Greenpeace volunteers were sprayed by water canons whilst staging an anti war protest on board the military supply ship, the Lyra, Thursday January 30 2003. Five campaigners from the conservation group managed to get aboard the MV Lyra, bound for the Gulf, while at anchor in the Solent off Southampton shortly before 8am today, a spokesman said. The Lyra was awaiting a pilot to take her into Marchwood Military Port on Southampton Water when the protesters got on to the ship and set up a peace camp at the stern of the vessel.
