| In compliance with the request of a deputation of Yacht Owners and others interested in Yachting, the Committee of Lloyd's Register of Shipping determined in 1877 to provide a Register for the faithful and accurate Registration of Yachts and to adopt Rules and Regulations for the Classification of this description of vessel. The Register of Yachts, which is printed solely for the use of Subscribers, was first issued in 1878, and has since been issued annually, except during the years 1916-17-18. A supplement containing additions and corrections is usually issued during the year. The Register of Yachts contains the names, particu- lars and characters of Yachts classed by the Society, together with the particulars of other Yachts which are considered to be of interest to Subscribers, illustrated plates of the Flags of Yacht and Sailing Clubs, together with a List of Club Officers, an illustrated List of the Distinguishing Flags of over 1000 Yachts, a List of the Names and Addresses of Yacht Owners, and much other information of interest to Yachtsmen. Of American and Canadian Yachts particulars of only the larger vessels are included in the book, as a separate Register containing a List of Yachts of the United States and Canada is published from the Society's Office at 17, Battery Place, New York. | Information for the Register is obtained from the Society's Surveyors, the Registrar General of Shipping, Yacht Owners, Builders, Designers, and from various other sources. It would be appreciated if Yachtsmen, and others interested in the book, would assist the Committee in making it as complete and accurate as possible by giving early intimation of any changes of ownership, by forwarding any other information of interest to the compilers, and by replying promptly to any enquiry which may be addressed to them by the Society. In this connexion it may be explained that although the book is published in May, it is necessary for the work to be placed in the Printers' hands by the end of February, the Register Section being passed for press alphabetically from that time onward until the end of March. The Flag Section is re-drawn by the Lithographers every year, and this work is begun early in January and completed about the middle of March. The Society undertakes, upon request of the responsible parties, the survey of Yachts during construction or of Yachts already built, with a view to Classification being assigned by the Committee of Lloyd's Register. Particulars can be obtained upon application to the Head Office, or to any of the Society's Surveyors. |

Dynamo 18.5 182 MOTOR YACHT "MARSAYRU" 170 6th.June 1960 SKIPPER. G.D.OLIVIER. SIGINEER C.COGGINS. CREW Messrs.FORBES, HUMPHRIES and Leading Seaman BROWN. I have the honour to report that I took over dommand of the Motor Yacht "Marsayru" on Wednesday 29th.May 1940. Before commencing this report I tried to sort things out a bit but find that my recollection, regarding any particular date on which incidents occurred, is extremely hazy. I therefore hope that a general report on our doings will suffice. We sailed from Sheerness on Friday 31st.May 1940 at 4 A.M., bound for Dunkirk, in company with X217 and 2 other drifters under the comand of .Lieutenant POOL,R.N. We steamed at 5 knots approximately. About 3 p.m. we came in sight of the coast, a long line of fires, smoke and explosions as far as the eye could see. About one hour later we contacted the Naval forces engaged in evacuating the French soldiers from the beaches. I had a whaler and sent it to the beach; it was immediately stormed by about 50 Frenchmen and capsised at once. My rating, Brown, had a job to prevent himself from being more or less forcibly drowned. I then withdrew my ship to review the position. Warps were everywhere, stuff that looked like 42", also smaller ropes which were the devil as I knew that sooner or later we were bound to get our propellers in the way of one of them. However this did not happen as soon as I had feared. In our retreat p from the beach we managed to pick up a very nice naval cutter which we captured and used a little futther down channel where the French troops appeared to be a little calmer. life took off many boat-loads for some 5 hours, loading X217, S.S. "Foam Queen", S.S. "Jaba" and so on. On this first day we also managed to pull "Foam Queen" (about 2000 tons I should say) off the mud, into which she had put her nose. I thought this spoke well for the engines of "Marsayru" and Mr. Coggins who attended them. Throughout this day and the days and nights that followed (it's all a complete jumble in my mind) we were of course under constant fire of various kinds, but I have the honour to report that the ship was not hit by anything. On one day - Sunday 2nd.June I think - we were singled out for attention (we were alone, nearest ship being about 2½ miles away) by 4 brave Messershimits who dived and machine-gunned us with much vigour but exceedingly poor aim for about half an hour. We had a Bren and 2 rifles but did not use them as the German pilots seemed disinolined to come nearer than 2000 feet and I had given orders to hold our fire Hurricanes have in sight and we saw no more of the Messerschmits to 1000 feet range. A pity. After half an hour of this 3 after that. Another day we were bombed by a large formation of Heinkels flying miles up.
