In order to facilitate the great task of clearing up the situation caused by taking every kind of craft for this operation, I have asked all the Officers at the various ports to send me complete lists as far as possible showing the names of vessels with names and addresses of owners of all craft taken by them and ordered to proceed for this requirement.
The position and procedure to adopt seems to be:
"
(a) As these lists arrive, files will be created to await further action.
(b) Some of these vessels were returned immediately they arrived at the port as being too small, or unsuitable for other reasons. Some of these we know, and others we do not.
t
(c) Some vessels were subsequently returned to their owners, after their duty, but in a damaged condition, and some vessels have been lost; the number or names of these at present, officially, we do not know.
* (a) A signal was sent from D.O.D. (H) Admiralty, 2321/1, regarding the disposal of the remainder of the vessels on completion of this operation.
(e) I understand that a re-allocation will be made of those vessels from these ports, which are suitable, and they will then be used for local defence service, the remainder being returned to owners.
(f) As to those vessels which are re-allocated, I have sent a semi official letter to Commander Garrett
(D:S.V.P) asking that we be notified of all re-allocations, SO that our records may be correcte
And also of theor released = owners is unsuitable.
(g) In connection with the question of the requisitioning of those vessels taken, I know that approximately
130 were requisitioned, but there are no doubt more which were requisitioned by the local Naval
Authorities etc It is impossible to say which those vessels were, unless we enquire from each individual Naval Authority, and I think in the circumstances we cannot very well send formal requisition letters for those vessels which will be kept on for further service as local defence unless you decide to make a clean sweep and send requisition letters to all owners of vessels retained by re-allocation.

Two points occurred to me in connection with the process of clearing up after dynamo -
(1) Loss of gear by vessels taken for this operation.
ne,
No.
It is apparent that most, if not all, gear on board the area
Flood vessels when they proceeded to Dunkirk was taken off at either
Sheerness, Ramsgate or Dover and simply dumped by the Naval
Officers at these ports. A great number. of claims will no doubt be received from owners for loss of gear, and in all cases we must accept, I presume, their charge. I was wondering whether any action could be taken to get a list of gear now lying at these ports which was taken from the vessels and either bring it to one of the docks or under one centralised place in order that when we get the claims from owners we might perhaps adopt a system whereby they could identify their own property. A case in point is that of the "JANE HANNAH" where the owner said his gear was taken from the vessel at Dover.
I told him to go to Dover, and arranged for him to do to see if he could identify his property, as it was rather expensive.
He visited Dover, and has informed this Department that he has obtained the gear. If some procedure could be adopted I feel sure that it will reduce considerably the claims which no doubt will be made in this respect. The Tane Hannah is
(2) Customs Officers and Receivers of Wrecks.
I had a word with Mr. Broadley about ten days ago and enquired whether he would obtain a list of craft taken by these officers during the period of the Dunkirk operations to the
1
present time. No replies have yet been received but no doubt such things as dinghies, punts and probably wherries, were taken by under their wing as salvage. Should not all such craft as
2
these be claimed by Sea Transport Department, although I am sure we cannot, or any individual owner, identify and prove them as being their property? In any case, any such craft which may have been brought within their purview will no doubt be as a result of the Dunkirk evacuation, and should, in my opinion, even if unidentified, be claimed and sold for the benefit of
Sea Transport Department who will have to meet the claims by owners for the loss of such craft.
It should be Easy think to come any claims from Lan of the hand, and/N becames of works.

Early on May 27th we were asked to find a number of small for it)
craft, vessels to be mustered at Sheerness for a special requirement. D.S.V.P. supplied a list of suitable vessels but it was soon ascertained that a great number of these were not fit and ready for service, consequently I attended a meeting at the Admiralty, when it was agreed that Admiral Preston should send some of his Officers to the various boatyards covering the area from Teddington to Burnham and Brightlingsea to inspect and send all vessels fit to Sheerness immediately and arrange regarding runner crews, oil fuel etc. The Officers were each given an authority, signed by Admiral Preston, to order the vessels away; Mr. Edwards concurred with this. During the course of the Monday this Section arranged for and got 40 vessels to Sheerness by Monday evening.
It has been an enormous task, resulting from the indiscriminate taking up of vessels without formal requisition, to get the exact picture setting out the present situation.
Innumerable lists, and a deal of correspondence, from every port and person concerned, boatyards included, were scrutinised, in order to obtain and collate all the information to enable a complete and comprehensive list to be drawn up. This entailed a great deal of checking, cross-checking and investigation, and, a large amount of correspondence with owners has often been necessary to clarify the position. A number of vessels were not shown on any list, but were simply taken, and consequently our only source of information has been from the owners themselves.

Littlehampton by the Naval Officer-in-Charge. We have reason to believe that there may be more craft, owners of which took their vessels over direct, and, consequently we have no record.
