Mid of boat\u003cbr/\u003eThe captain of a US ship en route to deliver humanitarian aid to the Palestinian territory of Gaza arrived at a Greek courthouse for a hearing on Tuesday.\u003cbr/\u003eThe 60-year-old captain of \"The Audacity of Hope\" was being held after trying to leave port on Friday, despite a ban.  \u003cbr/\u003eJohn Klusmire was facing charges of trying to leave port without permission and the more serious charge of endangering the lives of the boat's passengers. \u003cbr/\u003eActivists outside the courthouse cheered Klusmire on as he arrived for Tuesday's hearing in Piraeus. \u003cbr/\u003eOne activist called the captain a \"hero\".\u003cbr/\u003eThe boat was carrying 36 passengers, four crew and about 10 members of the media. \u003cbr/\u003eIt attempt to sail on Friday night from the port of Perama, near Athens, but was thwarted by coast guard speedboats.\u003cbr/\u003eOn the same day, Greece had announced it was banning vessels heading to Gaza from leaving Greek ports.\u003cbr/\u003e\"The Audacity of Hope\" has been docked at the Coast Guard shipyard since the activists attempted to set sail for Gaza last Friday, as part of an international human rights movement known as the Freedom Flotilla.\u003cbr/\u003eOn Monday, Greek authorities detained three activists attempting to breach Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip, after a Canadian boat 'Tahrir' set sail in defiance of a Greek ban, officials and pro-Palestinian activists said on Tuesday.\u003cbr/\u003eA spokesman for the 'Tahrir', identified those detained as Canadians Sandra Ruch and Soha Kneen, and Australian Michael Coleman. \u003cbr/\u003eThe boat tried to leave the southern Greek island of Crete on Monday, but was forced to turn back by Coast Guard vessels.\u003cbr/\u003eMembers of the flotilla have accused Greece of succumbing to Israeli pressure to block their plans, which had been held up by administrative delays and legal entanglements prior to the ban on sailing.\u003cbr/\u003eGreece, keen to boost international investment and ease its financial crisis, has maintained close relations with Arab countries, but in recent years has forged closer military and economic ties with Israel.\u003cbr/\u003eThe shift came amid a deterioration in the Jewish state's ties with Turkey, Greece's traditional regional rival and a fierce critic of the three-week Gaza offensive launched in late 2008 by the Israeli military.\u003cbr/\u003eThe Obama administration had warned American activists against participating in the flotilla, saying they might be violating US law because Gaza is run by the militant group Hamas.\u003cbr/\u003eThe flotilla had planned to carry medicine, construction equipment and other aid to the coastal strip.\u003cbr/\u003eIsrael said it imposed the naval blockade of the Gaza Strip in 2007 to stop weapons reaching Hamas.\u003cbr/\u003eNine activists on a Turkish boat were killed last year in an Israeli raid on a similar flotilla, and Israel eased its land blockade after an international uproar over the incident.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex
