These references come from the Red List index. Printed page numbers may differ from digitised image numbers; OCR may not reproduce the vessel name accurately.
33 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.

No. 23/22 A.B./40. 11166 17th September 1940. 1940 MILITERY REPORT OF ENQUIRY INTO THE LOSS OF H.M. TRAWLER "WESTELLA" IN OPERATION "DYNAMO ADMIRALTY 22SEP 1940 Sir, With reference to Admiralty Letter L.6245/40 dated 1st August, 1940, be pleased to lay before Their Lordships the following report resulting from an Enquiry into the loss of H.M.A/S Trawler WESTELLA on 2nd June, 1940. 2. Chief Skipper A. Gove, R.N.R. who was in command of WESTELLA was examined on 13th September, 1940. 3. At about 1600 on 2nd June when patrolling in the vicinity of "I" buoy in company with BLACKBURN ROVERS the latter was blown up by a mine or torpedo, and sank instantly. WESTELLA went full speed ahead towards the position where BLACKBURN ROVERS had sunk. As she neared the position explosions from BLACKBURN ROVERS' depth charges shook and lifted the ship out of the water and put her asdic installation and pumps out of action. 4. Shortly afterwards whilst "WESTELLA" was in about the same position a heavy explosion underneath the ship's port bow opened up the bow and blew in the foremost bulkhead. Cables fell through the bottom and the gun platform on the forecastle deck was bent upwards about 2 feet. She was flooded to the engine room fore bulkhead and took a heavy list to port. About 10 minutes later, Depth Charges having been set to 'Safe', the sinking ship was abandoned survivors being taken onboard GRIMSBY TOWN. 5. As WESTELLA was a danger to navigation GRIMSBY TOWN was ordered by SAON to sink her. Chief Skipper Gove states that he understands that this was done. 6. The ship was probably sunk in about 12/15 fathoms. Except for a few books which were loose, and in use, the Confidential Books and Secret Publications went down with the ship in a weighted perforated bag. 7. Asdic installation was not destroyed before ship was abandoned, but may have been badly damaged by gunfire which sank the ship. 8. It has not been possible to establish definitely what caused the explosion, but all the evidence available points to the probability of it being due to a moored wire. mine D 9. In the circumstances in which this Trawler was lost no useful information was elicited as to the behaviour of material. 10. I was assisted in my Enquiry by Lieutenant Commander S.J. Hunt, R.N. and Commissioned Engineer G.W. Feast, R.N. I am, Sir, Your obedient Servant, aisedford VICE-ADMIRAL The Secretary of the Admiralty, Whitehall, London, S.W. 1.

Commander Clouston ordered near S.T. 276 to proceed as the enemy aircraft were still continuing to attack, and she subsequently arrived at Dunkirk though too badly damaged to be of service. rating from S.T. 243 were picked up and saved.

The ship was holed but by shifting the damage above water. The engineers, J. W. Coulthard and W. L. Evans kept the motors running although the water had risen in the engine room, and the ship returned to Margate under her own steam. Another personnel ship, the Ben-My-Chree, was in collision on the evening of the 2nd shortly after leaving Folkestone for Dunkirk, and took no further part in the operation. Two further ships were sunk by mines on Route Y on the 2nd June, although it was at first thought they had been torpedoed. At about 1600 the trawlers Blackburn Rovers and Westella were on patrol near T buoy, when the former blew up on a mine and sank instantly. As the Westella closed the position, explosions from the Blackburn Rovers' depth charges lifted the ship out of the water and put her asdic installation and pumps out of action. About 40 minutes later the Westella was herself blown up by a mine between S and T buoys, and commenced to sink. Her depth charges were set to 'safe', and the trawlers Saon and Grimsby Town sank her and picked up her survivors and those of the Blackburn Rovers, some badly injured. (Appendix J.9, J.10). Two other trawlers met with misadventure on the 2nd, but neither was sunk. Details are lacking but it is known that the Spurs and another trawler, probably either the Kingston Alalite or Kingston Olivine, were both damaged by gunfire. The Spurs was on the patrol line, and it is not known how she came close enough to the coast to be damaged by shore gunfire. Gunfire also sank the Gallant's motor boat off Malo at 0210. known.
