1 record

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.

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.

saw right under "Letitia" several times.

watched her for a few minutes, decided she was out of control,
and blew for rounding to port. Rounded and drew alongside.
Much crashing from galley when getting round, owing to very

After rail stanchion smashed down by cable. Doctor
Brydon a brick through all this, as he stuck to wheel carrying out
my instructions, whilst I helped Westwood and Gabriel to get fresh
lines back to "Idaho". Cable parted and took capstan with it.
Almost lost her altogether; managed to get another line back to
him. Beachy Head very close now, about 1 mile away.
Time 9.45 p.m. signalling us from Beachy Head, but cannot read it,
too fast. Rounded Beachy Head and Patrol Boat F. came out, asked
whether I needed assistance. I asked him if he could take "Idaho"
off me. He agreed and told me to follow closely as area was mined.
Managed to get alongside Patrol boat to pass tow over. Port Boat
davits badly bent and part rail and stanchions smashed when rolling
heavily alongside Patrol Boat. "Idaho" in tow of Patrol Boat, and
we following, much easier now. Dark, small stern light shown
from F. and "Idaho". Followed over a very much changing course
until lights were entinguished, word being passed back that enemy
planes were overhead. Very difficult to hold Patrol boat now as
I could only see him against an occasional search light glare.
3.6.40
About 2.a.m. Patrol boat slipped "Idaho" and told him to anchor and
not to move. I drew abreast and tried to drop anchor. It would
not run SO had to pull 15 fthm out of locker, and cut lashing to let
it run. Anchor did not bite, so had to come back to position
again, and pull up another 15 fthm, cut lashing and let it go.
Anchor held this time and so shut off engines. Doctor and Westwood
turned in, and Gabriel and I searched "Warrior" for any possible
leaks. No leaks anywhere, so turned in as dawn was breaking.
Woke about 6.30 a.m.
3.6.1940
Had breakfast. Fresh patrol boat came out and took "Idaho" in tow.
We had to heave anchor up by hand. Got it up and followed inshore.
Waited outside Newhaven some time and tug came out and took "Idaho"
in. I followed and we berthed
12 noon. Rang Mr. Vernon to report and set to stripping anchor
winch. Found winch had three inches of water in it, and armature
was half submerged. Dismantled motor cleaned and dried and
re-assembled. Ran quite O.K. Re-assembled winch and tested -perfect.

REMARKS
Crew. Doctor Brydon worth his weight in gold. Worked as hard as anyone
despite his years. Am very glad of the opportunity to make his
acquaintance and hope to renew it one day.
Brian Westwood Hemis one of the best. Pulled his weight in very
unpleasant circumstances, nothing too much trouble and always looking
for something to do. Another acquaintance I was glad to make and
hope to renew.
P. Gabriel Have known him for years and came well up to my
expectations. A very useful man in adverse weather conditions.
Will see it out with the best. Not easily rattled amd does not
complain.
Engine etc. The R.N. engines ran perfectly the whole time under
very trying conditions. Never missed a beat and gave not the
slightest eause for anxiety. Port engine used more lubricating
oil than the other, and oil pressure was slightly lower (25-20)
respectively. Gear boxes not so good. Did not like the tendency

in the dark it is difficult to keep looking down engine room
hatch to see what shafts are doing. Should also suggest fitting
two rear view mirrors in wheel house to givebetter view astern.
In connection with the towage of "Idaho" should suggest fitting
a heavy ring plate on top of petrol and gas store to enable tow
rope to be made fast and all gear, rails etc. aft of this made
removable to allow for sweep of tow rope. Control was very
difficult when towing from right aft in a heavy sea.
Should
finally suggest the carrying of a long 9" bass warp for towing
if required as it has so much more spring.
Finally I came to like "Warrior" very much and respect her. A
good sea boat and no great vices, obviously the product of
practical knowledge and great interest. X Log appears to
