0 potential matching records have currently been identified.
Further indexing may identify vessel particulars, reported movements, participation assessments, named personnel and source references. The absence of a current match does not establish that no relevant source exists.
We are compiling and checking transcriptions, metadata, vessel-name matches, source references and reuse permissions before publishing further detail. This work helps prevent incomplete OCR, historic spelling variations or unverified associations from being presented as established fact.

10 potential matching records have been identified.
These records may contain service-list entries, vessel metadata, source-page references and protected full-size document images. 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.

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 The information may be incomplete, out of date, disputed or incorrect and should be checked against the underlying source records and independent evidence before being relied upon.

Commander (E) at RAMSGATE, at any rate on the staff. I do not know if this offic- er could be, or ever was, traced and identified. (c) DIANA MARY. Engine trouble and damage to propeller. Abandoned at Dunkirk. (d) ADMIRAL SUPERINTENDENT&S BARGE (Portsmouth). Ran on a pile of submerged masonry in Dunkirk and abandoned. The officer in this boat (Sub-Lieutenant BIGGS, R.N.,VeR.) left his charts on board. I should have sent him back for them, but did not do so as it was near the time ordered for laeving, and I thought he only had charts from RAMSGATE which gave no useful information to the enemy. Subsequently reflections made ne think he might have had a chart from Portsmouth, SO I went in to S.O.(1) office at Portsmouth on 6th. June and reported the circumstances, leaving S.0.(1) to pursue the matter further. to The convoy arrived at Dunkirk between 2300 and 2345, having beende- layed by trouble with the tows. Most of the boats had been slipped in the neighbourhood of the S.W. RUYTINGEN buoy and sent on. The other three tugs proceeded to the East of the entrance: SUN IV at first stayed just to the West of the wreck outside the entrance, and in this position picked up an open boat with a dozen French soldiers and an officer, who had been isolated and escaped. From the officer it was learnt that the Germans had possession of MARDYCK fort about 3 miles West of Dunkirk. 5. The motor boats carried on with their work, and SUN IV proceeded just to the Eastward of the entrance, having a look to see if there was any work to be done while passing. All appeared to be going well, all berths at the East mole were occupied and there were one or two ships lying off ready to berth. 6. At about 0115 (4th. June) one of my motor boats returned, and told me that there were no more French troops at the QUAI FELIX FUARE, and that Commander TAYLOR had left the QUAL. This boat was slightly damaged and so I left her in company. 7. At about 0200 the two end berths on the East mole were clear. H.M.S. "MALCOLM" went alongside and I fallowed in SUN IV, as also did the tug RACIA, to see if there were any more French troops. There were only a few, who embarked in "MALCOIM", this ship asked me to push her stern in to the jetty, which I did. sailed RAMSGATE; the return passage was uneventful. I was passed I left at 0230, approximately, picked up the waiting motor boat, and by two or for three destroyers and a minesweeper. Tug SUN XV towed home another vessel one picked up halfway. 8. Out 14 boats which started for Dunkirk, 8 or 9 had to be abandoned of the for one reason or another, but the crews were recovered safely. The remainder found their own way back to RAMSGATE, with the

I beg to report that at 8.45 pm. on Tuesday, 4th, when passing Dover I observed a motor boat about two miles outside my track, flying a white flag and trying to attract attention. I proceeded to boat and found it packed with soldiers who said they were French from Dunkirk and had no more petrol. After careful examination I allowed them to come on board unarmed, and towed the boat towards Dover Harbour, distance about five miles. After speaking the examination vessel I anchored and a tug was sent out to me. The men, 24 and four Officers, 28 in all, were sent on ral the tug and the tug towed the boat into the Harbour. I then proceeded at 11.10 pm. to my destination. The boat was the "Diana Mary" a British boat about 30 feet long. I sent a man down to make boat well fast and steer it. This man noticed a licence on dashboard "Thames Conservancy". One of the French Officers told how, at 7 am. on Tuesday morning, his party selected this boat out of a number abandoned on the beach. She was well provisioned with food and a note in the boat in English read good luck to those who get her." These soliders waited for tide to float it and then pushed out to sea. When I picked them up at 8.45 pm. they had not the least idea where they were. Fog had been general all day. Yours faithfully, Sgd. A. Hiley.

The gunboat cor- It was intended to employ on the work a force of 9 personnel vessels, 9 destroyers (all that were available), 4 paddle minesweepers, 7 fleet minesweepers, 9 drifters, the Locust, 2 corvettes, 4 French torpedo boats, and a number of organised motor boats flotillas including lifeboats from Ramsgate and Dover, together with a large number of French and Belgian fishing vessels. Eleven small French ships and 3 small tugs left Cherbourg for Dover on the night 2nd-3rd June ; Le Havre was scheduled to send 8 trawlers, 2 minesweepers, 1 tug, and 20 small dinghies ; and Fécamp sent 14 trawlers. During the afternoon of the 3rd the French authorities transmitted the figure of French troops still remaining in Dunkirk. This was about 30,000, a pro- portion of whom belonged to other than combatant units. The total capacity of the lifting force, if used to the full, was 30,000, but this was about 5,000 more than the facilities within the port would permit of being embarked in 4 hours, even if the French troops moved with the greatest rapidity at all points of embarkation. On previous occasions there had been some instances of difficulty in persuading French troops to embark otherwise than as complete units. Vice-Admiral Ramsay consequently impressed on the French liaison officers the necessity of speed, and he added a number of French officers and ratings to the augmented pier parties which were despatched to Dunkirk at 2200, in I The following ships landed troops in England on 4th June (numbers landed in brackets) British - destroyers Express (611), Malcolm (736), Sabre (592), Shikari (383), Vanquisher Minesweepers Albury (400), Halcyon (501), Kellett (30), Leda (500), Medway Queen (266), ferred to trawler off Dunkirk on account of collision damage) Gunboat Locust (196) (414), Venomous (1200), Whitshed (444); Corvettes Guillemot (460), Kingfisher (200, trans- Princess Elizabeth (329), Queen of Thanet (150), Speedwell (396) Trawler Saturn (418) Drifters Forecast (123), "L.H.W.D."

XII on motor boats, sailed the Thark with the motor boats, the 3rd the tugs Sun from IV, Tanga, Ramsgate Sun to XV, Dunkirk. and Racia, Two towing of between them were on account of water trouble petrol; the Diana Mary was 14 abandoned on the way across: in the while foul propeller and rudder, mouth, to piled up 28 Dunkirk troops), on some with and submerged engine the barge masonry of the (though Admiral in Dunkirk she Superintendent, eventually harbour and returned Ports- was abandoned. After waiting off Dunkirk since 2300 on the 3rd, the four tugs ordered at about 0200 on the 4th to go alongside the (East) Pier and embark were as many troops as possible, and by the time they were ordered to out they had collected 203 between them. Of the 14 motor boats which started clear from Ramsgate with the tugs only 5 or 6 found their way back ; all the remainder were abandoned for one reason or another. Embarkations at the West Pier (see Plan 4) Owing to confusion of nomenclature it is impossible in every case to specify definitely at which of the west piers or jetties the ships (other than destroyers and personnel vessels which berthed at the east pier) embarked their troops. In the western part of the port, reading from west to east, were (1) the West Pier (termed western jetty in the Sailing Directions), (2) the West Quay or Guiding Jetty, and (3) the Inner Western Pier (the inner or old western jetty of the Sailing Directions). Of the other three skoots that came over with the Lena, the Bornrif stated that she embarked 96 troops at the West Mole" between 2230 on the 3rd and 0100 on the 4th, and the Hondsrug 308 at the "West Pier' between 2245 and 0000; while the Pascholl, which had been commanded by four different captains in 8 days, does not specify from which part of the port she lifted the 255 troops with which she sailed at 0030. Another skoot, the Rina, which had spent 24 hours at Dunkirk, sailed about this time with 300 troops. The corvette Guillemot, which had come over with the Kingfisher, went to the Western mole" and secured ahead of the minesweeper Speedwell at 2355, leaving again at 0154 with French troops embarked to capacity" (460). This was her first and only trip, her previous service having been as base ship at Margate. The Speedwell which had berthed nearly an hour earlier than the Guillemot, took off 396 French troops, and the Halcyon, which had sailed from Dover in her company, 501. The minesweeper Kellett grounded forward against the western breakwater on a falling tide when she attempted to go alongside at 0100. It was an anxious moment, for almost simultaneously there same a report that 6 enemy T.B.Ds. were proceeding south-westward from off Ostend ; but the motor lifeboat Greater London towed the Kellett's stern away from the wall and enabled her to back away. She embarked a few troops from motor boats and sailed for Margate at 0220 by orders of Rear-Admiral Wake-Walker, for the West Pier was occupied and it would be some time before she could be loaded, and the Rear-Admiral feared that so slow a ship might not be able to reach England while our fighter patrols were operating. Two of the personnel ships were sent by Rear-Admiral Wake-Walker to the West Pier instead of to the East Pier, since the former was continuously crowded with French troops, whereas at the East Pier there were gaps in the flow of men. One of the two, the Royal Sovereign, embarked 1,350 men and sailed overladen half an hour after she should have been clear. Among the many ships and craft of which few or no details are recorded 117

4. 397 The for the following reasons boats given were below:- abandoned either on passage or at Dunkirk, (a) THARK. Rope foul of propeller and rudder. Abandoned half way. (b) SANTOSY. Petrol failure. Abandoned near W. buoy. An interesting point arose here. The Sub-Lieutenant in command said that he had been instructed to fill up with petrol at RAMSGATE from officer who told him which cans to take was dressed as a Lieut. certain cans which were subsequently found to contain water. The Commander (E) RINI When this was discussed, the Sub- Lieutenant reported this to the Engineer Captain (or Commander) at RAMSGATE, who said that there was no Lieut. Commander (E) at RAMSGATE, at any rate on the staff. I do not know if this offic- er could be, or ever was, traced and identified. (c) DIANA MARY. Engine trouble and damage to propeller. Abandoned at Dunkirk. (d) ADMIRAL SUPERINTENDENT&S BARGE (Portsmouth). Ran on a pile of submerged masonry in Dunkirk and abandoned. The officer in this boat (Sub-Lieutenant BIGGS, R.IN.V.R.) left his charts on board. I should have sent him back for them, but did not do so as it was near the time ordered for laeving, and I thought he only had charts from RAMSGATE which gave no useful information to the enemy. Subsequently reflections made ne think he might have had a chart from Portsmouth, SO I went in to S.O.(1) office at Portsmouth on 6th. June and reported the circumstances, leaving S.0.(1) to pursue the matter further. to The convoy arrived at Dunkirk between 2300 and 2345, having beende- layed by trouble with the tows. Most of the boats had been slipped in the neighbourhood of the S.W. RUYTINGEN bucy and sent on. The other three tugs proceeded to the East of the entrance: SUN IV at first stayed just to the West of the wreck outside the entrance, and in this position picked up an open boat with a dozen French soldiers and an officer, who had been isolated and escaped. From the officer it was learnt that the Germans had possession of MARDYCK fort about 3 miles West of Dunkirk. 5. The motor boats carried on with their work, and SUN IV proceeded just to the Eastward of the entrance, having a look to see if there was any work to be done while passing. All appeared to be going well, all berths at the East mole were occupied and there were one or two ships lying off ready to berth. 6. At about 0115 (4th. June) one of my motor boats returned, and told me that there were no more French troops at the QUAI FELIX FUARE, and that Commander TAYLOR had left the QUAL. This boat was slightly damaged and so I left her in company. 7. At about 0200 the two end berths on the East mole were clear. H.M.S.) "MALCOLM" went alongside and I followed in SUN IV, as also did the tug RACIA, to see if there were any more French troops. There were only a few, who embarked in "MALCOLM", this ship asked me to push her stern in to the jetty, which I did. sailed at 0230, RAMSGATE; the return passage was uneventful. I was passed I left approximately, picked up the waiting motor boat, and by two or for three destroyers and a minesweeper. Tug SUN XV towed home another vessel one picked up halfway. 8. Out boats which started for Dunkirk, 8 or 9 had to be abandoned of the 14 one reason or another, but the crews were recovered safely. The for remainder found their own way back to RAMSGATE, with the
Dyram. 147 428 H.M. Tug "St. Clears", 401 Sheerness. TO: KING'S HARBOUR MASTER. 7th June, 1940. Sir, Tug "St. during the evacuation of troons from H.M. area. I Clears" submit the following report and the movements of COPY. ZIA a 40.0 S.S. "RYE" at Jersey, 5th June 1940. ssociated Humber Lines, arine Dept., ULL. OF Sir, June, 1940. I beg to report that at 8.45 pm. on Tuesday, 4th, when passing Dover I observed a motor boat about two miles outside my track, flying a white flag and trying to attract attention. I proceeded to boat and found it packed with soldiers who said they were French from Dunkirk and had no more petrol. After careful examination I allowed them to come on board unarmed, and towed the boat towards Dover Harbour, distance about five miles. After speaking the examination vessel I anchored and a tug was sent out to me. The men, 24 and four Officers, 28 in all, were sent on the tug and the tug towed the boat into the Harbour. I then proceeded at 11.10 pm. to my destination. The boat was the "Diana Mary" a British boat about 30 feet long. I sent a man down to make boat well fast and steer it. This man noticed a licence on dashboard Thames Conservancy". One of the French Officers told how, at 7 am. on Tuesday morning, his party selected this boat out of a number abandoned on the beach. She was well provisioned with food and a note in the boat in English read "good luck to those who get her." These soliders When waited for tide to float it and then pushed out to sea. I picked them up at 8.45 pm. they had not the least idea where they were. Fog had been general all day. Yours faithfully, Sgd. A. Hiley.
