Dhoon

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.

Red List (1939–40) — OCR

21 records

21 potential matching records have been identified.

These records may contain OCR text matches, source files, page references and digitised page imagery. A match does not by itself prove that the vessel participated in Operation Dynamo.

“Potential match” means a candidate returned by one or more indexing rules; it is not necessarily an exact identity match. Depending on the source, matching may use a normalised vessel name, a partial text or OCR hit, an alias, or related metadata. Roman-numeral suffixes such as I, II, III, IV and V may be absent, misread or separated from the base name, so records for similarly named vessels can be grouped incorrectly. Multi-word names can also produce candidates where only one significant word matches. Confirm the full name, numeral, vessel type, dimensions, builder, ownership, dates and source context before treating two records as the same vessel.

Account registrations and access to these developing records are temporarily unavailable. Existing account holders may log in, and everyone can join the newsletter for publication updates.

Ship Details

These details have been aggregated from multiple sources and may include contemporary records, later recollections, claims or assertions for which no corroborating evidence has been identified. Inclusion does not establish that any account or assertion is accurate. The information may be incomplete, out of date, disputed or incorrect and should be checked against the underlying source records and independent evidence before being relied upon.

Lieut. Jordan sent in 2 reports of the operations carried
out by these ships at Dunkirk. These reports differ from
each other and from reliable reports of events with which they
deal.
Report No.1 (dated 7th June 1940 and addressed to Captain u/s,
Harwich) shows that the Fleetwood trawler flotilla
made only one trip to Dunkirk, and that was on the
1st June. (1) Five of the trawlers brought back
troops - over 800 French colonial troops, and
also 137 officers and men, survivors of the French
dr. Foudroyant. The sixth trawler towed back a
disabled Belgian trawler.
Report No. 2 (dated 29th October 1940, and addressed to the Port
Fishery Captain, Fleetwood), indicates that the
Flotilla was operating at Dunkirk on 30th May and
returned to Ramsgate a.m. 31st May. On p.m. 31st
May, the Flotilla was said to be again operating
off Dunkirk beachès, and when returning from
Dunkirk on the night of 31st May/lst June, was said
to have been present at the action in which the
French dr. Siroco was sunk. This however, is
impossible, because the Siroco was sunk on the
night of 30th/31st May.
The Report then records that the Flotilla made a trip to
Dunkirk on 1st June. It is considered that this trip was the
only one actually made by the Fleetwood trawlers. Also, it
