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.

In accordance with your signal ordering "Inverforth",
down for Monday, I left harbour with these ships and proceeded
on the route indicated.
Knowing from experience of the previous day that to
approach Calais No. 6 Buoy would bring us under enemy gunfire I
decided to approach the coast more from the Northward, and to
the Eastward of Calais and shaped a course for this from No. 8
Buoy.
Visibility was becoming less and on sighting again the
coast line I turned to the Eastward for approaching Dunkirk
