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.

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 The information may be incomplete, out of date, disputed or incorrect and should be checked against the underlying source records and independent evidence before being relied upon.

2 very gingerly to the accompaniment of the most outrageous din and guided by a furious blaze. Hell itself could not put up a better show, I am pretty sure. Various Destroyers & about six Yarmouth drifters were off the en- trance, but owing to the presence of numerous wrecks they were (like me) a bit chary of entering. A 'schoot' however came boldly past us and entered with great confidence and I then hailed 'Clythmess' and told her to follow 'Lord Grey' in at a respectable distance, so I would have room to come astern & manoeuver if necessary. As I went ahead the aforesaid schoot returned & shot out of the harbour en- trance as if he had definitely decided that it was no place for him. However we proceeded slowly in and tied up just ahead of the wreck of H.M.T. Polly Johnson - alongside the Eastern mole. Clythness lay as- tern of us. We now had time to survey thesituation by the eerie light of numerous oil fires & the flaming wreck of a British Destro- yer. Bombing was continuous as was the whine of whistling bombs. There was no sign of anyone on the quay, which was - I now saw - com- pletely severed just shoreward of us. Damage done probably by the same bomb that sank 'Polly Johnson'. This of course meant that we should have to move further into the inferno before I could land & endeavour to report to Capt. Tennant. I may say I had the gravest doubts about that officer's safety, for it looked impossible to exist anywhere nearer the town. However I felt an effort must be made with- out delay to carry out my very vague orders and so we moved - with great difficulty - to the other side of the mole in the quay & again made fast. My opposite number in Clythness was no other than Tony Heckstall- Smith, sub-Lt R.N.V.R., son of the famous Major - the pivot round which all yachting seemed to revolve in the good old days of peace. 8/10 1156 6/4

Officer in could be oney ha nt that ed go 11th June, 19 In accordance with last nights instruction I am sending a report e the fishing fleet from the Eastern District sent for the evacuation of th tish Expeditionary Force. ed on On 30th May, shortly before 1700, I received your telephone messa so, of ould all boats capable of crossing the English Channel should be ordered to at once. I at once got in touch with suitable persons, usually the Cd wer Hannam g thirty of statistics, at different points round the coast and explained to th extreme urgency of the situation. Contact with the different stations established as under:- Wells. 1700. Yarmouth. 1915. Leigh-on-Sea. 1710. Maldon. 1935. Harwich. 1730. Burnham. 1940. Deben Estuary. 1740. West Mersea. 1945, Sheringham. 1800. Orford. 2010. Brightlingsea. 1805. At some stations it was evident that the Naval Authorities were also II in the same matter and yachts were also being detailed. Early in the day Lieut. Cator, R.N.V.R., from the Small Vessels Pool had visited Lowestoft a Yarmouth to select yachts and I remained in touch with him during his visit. the evening I visited Kessingland and found that the boats, mostly with car a engines and no reverse gear, were unsuitable for the service. This also ap to Aldeburgh. At 2110 Mr. Hannah notified that the two large Sheringham Whll boats had sailed. There was no discussion of terms or conditions. The sed fishermen simply knew they were urgently wanted and they had a pretty good id why. Some left for Lowestoft immediately they came ashore from the fishing grounds. Early on the morning of June 1st I reported on the situation to N.O Lowestoft as the little ships had to be routed, supplied with fuel and etc. by all him. He asked me to take full charge of the operations. This simplified th work and by noon 16 vessels from stations to the North of and including Lowes were ready for the first stage of their journey complete with petrol, paraffi water and 4 days provision. These sailed at 1420. Others were standing b as under orders but were eventually not required. The vessels from stations of Lowestoft came for the most part under direct orders from local naval authorities. Lists of all vessels advised by our various representatives in the attached schedules. La Volunteers for crews were not lacking and it is of passing interest tha youngest volunteer was 141, a Coastguard' S son Peter Haines, a sea scout, and the eldest man was 73 (Mr. C.A. Pegg). The latter has now returned to his crab fishing and the Coastguard's son has been appointed messenger to the 1st. Lieut, Naval Base, here. In view of the difficulty likely to be experienced by the fishermen when dealing with the Naval Authority at Harwich and Ramsgate it was B agreed that Mr. Graham should accompany the party. This proved a most Later satisfactory arrangement and his handling of the variety of problems which arose 200 called the highest praise from the fishermen. The following is his report:- 9th J 1030 "We left Lowestoft for Harwich at 1420 on 1st June in a group of sixteen Rose boats. T. Nielsen of Wells was Chief Skipper. The subsequent movements of these Q. & sixteen vessels are known up to the time they reached home ports again. It will 10th 1820. June be some time before the movements of vessels from other stations are fully known and reported by local fishery officers. One vessel, the "Boy Fred" HH.15, was in Minist company with my party for operations from 5th - 7th June. 1300. The following narrative of the movements of the sixteen and the "Boy Fred" is All V constructed from my log and from records in the Fishery Office. rts, exc 1st June. T.O.
