A note about image and OCR quality

Every reasonable effort has been made to present these document images as flat, straight and accurately cropped as possible. Historical records can be difficult to photograph or scan because of tight bindings, deep gutters, page curvature, folds, creases, fragile paper, uneven edges, shadows, glare, skewed pages, fading, stains, tears, attachments and restrictions on how a document may be handled. These conditions can distort parts of an image and consequently affect the OCR transcription.

Considerable post-production work has been undertaken to crop, align, flatten and enhance the images where practicable, but the results represent our best effort rather than exact facsimiles. Text showing through from the reverse of a page, printed backgrounds, stamps, ruled lines, marks and text visible from neighbouring pages may confuse or spoil OCR output. Handwriting is not reliably recognised and, in most places, may be missing, incomplete or incorrectly transcribed. Always check the page image and, where accuracy matters, consult the original record held by the identified archive.

OCR is not a transcription. It is machine-generated text used to create research tags and help locate names and references within the source images; it should not be read as a verified narrative.

Date:- 5th June, 1940.
To:- Naval Officer in Charge, Ramsgate.
1st June. Was told to go to assistance of "Ivanhoe" and
"Queen of Thanet". We contacted with tug
"Java" who had survivors on board from the
"Queen of Thanet". We set out and found
"Ivanhoe" seriously bombed. The captain asked us to get medical help, etc. etc., which we
We did. helped with more serious wounded, but they were in such & condition that removal seemed unwise. In consultation with Captain of
"Ivanhoe" we decided to take off the survivors
(mostly soldiers) and took them ashore.
On next journey we took into Margate an N.T.B.
with one survivor out of 8. The boat was badly damaged, but was docked alongside Pier.
On these journeys was accompanied by Lt. Dancy.
31st May.
Was out in tug "Doria" trying to find lifeboats
Deal an M.T.B. bound for Convoy duties caught reported floating near the Goodwins, when off fire. After helping crew we took S.O.7 into
Dover submarine basin. Commander of S.O.7
is reporting matter.
N.B. Survivors of "Ivanhoe" were landed at more could be done and she proceeded in tow
Margate. We only left "Ivanhoe" when nothing to Chatham.
