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.

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.

20 records

20 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.

No additional ship details available.

TO:
COMMANDER M/S.
Sir,
the operation carried out by "LL" Trawlers this morning (28th on
I have the honour to submit the following report
May, 1940) under my command.
"Thomas Bartlett" and "Our Bairns" to carry out operations laid
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
Buoy. the Eastward of Calais and shaped a course for this from No. 8
Visibility was becoming less and on sighting again the
Channel. coast line I turned to the Eastward for approaching Dunkirk
When approaching in this direction enemy gunfire was
opened upon us from shore with what was probably 12 pounders or
the equivalent and soon their shooting became accurate.
All ships turned to the Northward until out of sight
Channel. of land, none being hit, and we proceeded again towards Dunkirk
At 1017 came a loud explosion and "Thomas Bartlett"
was seen to have been blown up, settling rapidly by the stern,
and sinking in less then 1½ minutes. The position was close
East and North of Dunkirk A.W. Buoy.
"Our Bairns" immediately closed her and lowered her
up. beat; "Imverforth" doing the same and 10 survivors were picked
Course was then shaped to pass through Calata Channel
being opened on us from shore.
and owing to the poor visibility this was done without gunfire
Meanwhile anti-aircraft fire was going on against our
planes almost continuously from Calais.
Knowing the operation to be no longer possible owing
to enemy occupation of the shore line I shaped a course for
returning to harbour.
I regret to report that eight of "Thomas Bartlett's"
crew were lost.
