Corinia

Important context

These are vessels recorded as having some association or possible involvement with Operation Dynamo. This is not a definitive list of participating ships, and inclusion does not establish that a vessel reached Dunkirk, evacuated personnel or otherwise took part. A source record may exist because a claim was investigated, qualified or rejected; for example, an Orde entry may expressly state that the vessel did not participate. Always review the underlying records and source notes before drawing a conclusion.

The archive and its metadata are still being compiled and are presented as a work in progress. Entries may be incomplete, change as additional material is processed or appear in more than one source record.

Historic logs, handwritten documents, later indexes and transcriptions may contain spelling or identification differences. For example, NIAIAD ERRANT, MAID ERRANT and NAIAD ERRANT refer to the same vessel under variant spellings. Search cautiously, try likely variants and check for multiple records before drawing conclusions.

Cross-collection links and record counts should be treated as candidate matches rather than confirmed vessel identities. Matching may involve case and punctuation normalisation, partial-name or OCR text matches, aliases and associated metadata. A Roman-numeral suffix such as I, II, III, IV or V may be omitted, separated or mistranscribed, causing a base name to match a different numbered vessel. With multi-word names, a candidate may also be returned because only one distinctive word matched. Verify the complete name and numeral against vessel type, dimensions, builder, ownership, dates and the underlying source before merging or relying on records.

Dear Sir,
S.S. "LEVENWOOD" AT DUNKIRK.
We have to acknowledge receipt of your letter of
the 7th instant and enclose herewith copy of a letter we
have received from the Master of our S.S. "LEVENWOOD"
concerning the part his vessel took in the evacuation of
troops from Dunkirk.
He does not mention in the letter the number he was
able to rescue from the beach but in conversation he states
that it was approximately 100, mostly British soldiers, the
remainder French. Captain Young also states that he is
quite satisfied that the aeroplane mentioned in his letter
was definitely shot down by the "IEVENWOOD's" twelve pounder
gun, and crashed in flames on the sand dunes.
We know the Master and Crew had a very rough time
at Dunkirk and think you will agree with us that the letter
expresses the good work which was done in a very modest way.
With regard to the "CORINIA", we manage this vessel
on behalf of the North West Shipping Co. Ltd., to whom we
have forwarded a copy of your letter in order that they may
reply direct to you.
Yours faithfully,
FOR AND ON BEHALF OF
