 In 1934, the first seaborne attempt to bring Jews to Palestine happened when some 350 Jews of the HeHalutz movement in Poland who were unwilling to wait for certificates sailed to Palestine on the "Vallos", a chartered ship.Two more ships carrying illegal immigrants arrived in 1937, and several more arrived in 1938 and 1939.These voyages were mainly organised by the Revisionist Zionist Organisation and the Irgun.
