I would add that we do not know how many of these vessels actually proceeded to Dunkirk from the assembly points, but what we do know is, that they were sent to, and arrived at, the various assembly points, and in some cases vessels were sent over direct from ports, e.g. Newhaven and
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.
A few have, however, come to our knowledge where owners have enquired for compensation for gear, probably having recent information from a friend that we were dealing with all matters in this connection.
