1 potential matching record has been identified.
These records may contain vessel particulars, reported movements, participation assessments, named personnel and source references. 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.
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.

FOSSA Tug (Gaselee & Son Ltd.) S/Lt. M.H.B. Solomon, R.N.V.R. 1st June 1400 G. Finch, Master. S/Lt. Solomon, at Ramsgate, commandeered the tug Contest, but the crew refused to sail. 1700 He then commandeered the tug Fossa and 2000ca took in tow the M/B Thetis (1), which he "manned with 1 petty officer and 2 sea scouts", and sailed for Dunkirk. [The 2 sea scouts were Messrs. T. Towndrow and S. Brown of the 1st Mortlake Sea Scout Group. (See under Thetis)] 2nd June 0000 Arrived Dunkirk. S/Lt. Solomon went ashore as Liaison Officer (and French interpreter) and left orders for the M/B to load at least 300 troops into the Fossa. [The M/B's steering cable broke on the 1st trip into the harbour.] The Fossa embarked troops from the Mole and proceeded, taking in tow the disabled M/B and an open naval motor cutter loaded with French troops. 0350 Outside Dunkirk harbour, the Fossa ran aground. The G/B Locust could not get in close enough to tow offthe Fossa. The M.L.C.21 unsuccessfully attempted to tow her off. The M.L.C.21 then embarked about 100 of the Fossa's troops and her crew, and landed 1415 them at Ramsgate. Nil Authority - Gaselee & Son Ltd. R.O.III, p. 314. (1) calls this the "Therune", Gaselee & but son no Ltd. M/B report of that S/Lt. that name Solomon can be Finch traced. towed Messrs. over only 1 M/B, the name of which Capt. he does not know.

M/B (Owner H.F. THETIS Eaton) T. Towndrow, Scoutmaster, Mortlake Sea Scouts. [Mr. Towndrow had previously been to Dunkirk in the M/B Minotaur] 2000ca 1st June S/Lt. M.H.B. Solomon R.N.V.R., at Fossa (q.v.) and the M/B "Therune" Ramsgate, having commandeered the tug [?Thetis] manned the M/B with 1 petty officer and 2 sea scouts, and proceeded in the tug for Dunkirk with the M/B in tow. [Mr. Towndrow says there was another M/B on the tow, but this is not confirmed by the Master of the tug] (2) 2nd June 0000 Arrived at Dunkirk, S/Lt. Solomon 0035 proceeded into the harbour in the M/B. S/Lt. Solomon left the M/B [to act as French interpreter on shore], having given orders that she was to load the tug Fossa with 300 troops. Mr. Towndrow says that in running in to carry out these orders, the M/B's steering cable broke, and being enclosed, it was not possible to repair it. The Fossa, which had now embarked troops from the mole, took the M/B in tow, and also an open naval motor cutter, full of French troops. Outside the harbour, the Fossa ran 0100ca aground. The M/B's crew transferred to the motor cutter, which proceeded, leaving the M/B abandoned. 1100 The motor cutter arrived Ramsgate. The number of French troops' carried in the motor cutter is not known. Authority III p.314 Nil To. 9144/41 To. 9436/40 (1) Mr. Towndrow sent in 2 reports - one to D. of S.T. and one to Mr. J.D. Casswell, K.C. In the former report he states that he thinks, but is "not at all sure", that the M/B was called the "Jeannette"; in the latter report he makes no mention of any name at all. S/Lt. Solomon, who had "commandeered"the tug Fossa which towed the M/B to Dunkirk, calls it the "Therune". No vessel named "Therune" or "Jeannette" is shown in the D. of S.T's list of small vessels requisitioned for Dynamo, (TO. 9144/40), and no other report mentions these D. names. of S.T. mentions a M/B Thurn, but states that she was in the A.P.S; presumably therefore the Thurn did not go The Thetis is known to have gone to Dunkirk and to have to Dunkirk. (2) The Master of the Fossa, remembers that he towed one been lost while in tow of a tug. M/B over, (not two) tug but does not know its name. He also remembers that it was in charge of a S/Lt. R.N.V.R. "who spoke Italian" [s/Lt. Solomon speaks Italian, French and German]. 223
