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.

0 potential matching records have currently been identified.

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.

Research notes — source page 1

NMM 940.542.1 1940 Orde vol ii — page 375

Research summary for source page 375. The page concerns \olvina. The factual index links this page to the vessels Boat, Dwarf, Olivia, Thames and Viking. Indexed surnames include Barge, Cooper, Dover and Miles. The indexed activity is dated 29 May, 30 May, 31 May and 1 June. Places identified in the OCR-derived metadata include Dunkirk, Dover and The Downs. The page appears to record that the subject transported or landed evacuated troops, ferried personnel between beaches and larger vessels, towed or assisted another craft and operated in convoy or with other vessels. The OCR indicates movements including arrival at or return to Dover. OCR-derived troop figures mentioned on the page include 31, 70 and 244; these figures may be approximate or affected by OCR error. The page appears to compare or qualify different accounts, so participation, sequence or figures may be disputed rather than established. This is an independently generated discovery note based on factual signals extracted from OCR, not a transcription or reproduction of the source wording; consult the original record before relying on it.

Places identified in the OCR-derived metadata include Dunkirk and Dover. The page appears to record that the subject operated in convoy or with other vessels. The OCR indicates movements including arrival at or return to Dover. OCR-derived troop figures mentioned on the page include 118; these figures may be approximate or affected by OCR error. This is an independently generated discovery note based on factual signals extracted from OCR, not a transcription or reproduction of the source wording; consult the original record before relying on it.

Red List (1939–40) — OCR

33 records

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.

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.

smoke clouds. Orders were then received from a destroyer
to investigate a reported enemy M.T.B. 2 miles to eastward.
Anchor was weighed at 2221, and we steamed to Bray beaches
without encountering the M.T.B. Pilotage was somewhat
hazardous in the intense darkness, owing to wrecks obstruct-
ing the channel, and at 2345 the anchor was dropped as
close inshore as possible.
The ship's boat was taken away soon after
midnight, and brought off two loads of troops totalling
32, including one stretcher case, which was put aboard a
destroyer. Owing to deterioration of conditions, no more
troops were embarked until daylight, when the boat was
pulled ashore on two more occasions.
At about 0500/31 May, "Sabre" was full of
troops and ready to proceed to England, so it was arranged
that "Olvina" should provide a crew for "Sabre"s" motorboat
and use it for embarking troops. Accordingly, after re-
filling with petrol from "Icarus", the motorboat was manned
and proceeded to tow off ships' boats and Royal Engineer's
pontoon floats from the pier to vessels anchored off. The
pier consisted of motor lorries driven into the sea at low
water, having planks lashed to the roofs. Owing to a
northwesterly breeze, which freshened to force 3/4 at 1100,
only the eastern side of the pier could be used, and some
difficulty was experienced in handling the boats. Probably
about 300 to 350 troops were removed in this manner, of
which 240 were put aboard "Olvina".

In accordance with your Memo. No.2912 of 6th June, 1940,
I have the honour to submit the following narrative.
On Wednesday 29th May, at 1700, "Olvina" proceeded to

Examination Vessel was hailed for instructions, and at 1230

Examination Vessel would have our sailing orders. This ship,
