WIDGEON

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.

ORDE Registry

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.

2nd June. 1940.

1.
Operations in which Sheldrake has been involved during the
evacuation from Dunkirk has enabled certain officers and men to distinguish
themselves in H.M. Ship under my command. The circumstances are outlined
below so that the necessary action may be taken by you should you concur.
2.
Sheldrake was ordered by C-in-C. Nore. to proceed to the KWINTE BUOY
and destroy the Asdic Apparatus of one of our destroyers wrecked in the vicinity
3.
On arrival 'Wakeful' was found to be lying completely capsized
with her stern resting on the bottom and only the forefoot visible, which
appeared from oil marks on the waterline to be semi buoyant. A Boat under
the command of my First Lieutènant, Lieutenant HUGH WILLIAM MACKENZIE ROSE, R.N.
was sent over and placed a berthing wire running from the bull ring round
the keel, to the bull ring the other side. It was intended to hang depth
charges on this 'necklace' and countèrmine them with other depth charges,
using Bickfords fuze.
4.
For the second trip with two depth charges, it was necessary
to tow the whaler to the wreck on the end of a grass and to pump out oil
fuel from Sheldrake to counteract the effects of ground swell and strong
tide, which made operations difficult, particularly on the weather side.
Good seamanship and stout hearts succeeded in placing one charge on either
bow in the required spot without damage to the boat. Throughout the
operation all were acutely aware that we were only 10 miles from Dunkirk
with aircraft of both sides passing the ship at intervals, and that at bomb
in the vicinity of a boat would have countermined the depth charges that
they were placing.
5.
On the whalers return to the ship for the demolition charges,
C-in-C. Nore's signal "Cancel my 1044 area now mined" was received. It
confirmed our own fears that we had been working in a mined area. It
seemed a pity to leave the job half done and it was decided to sink the
wreck by gunfire using D.A. fuze asnear the required area as possible, and
if the ship sunk before the charges placed had been exploded, to fire them with
a countermining pattern of depth charges. She sank inside ten mintes, and
using the escaping bubbles from the punctured stem as an aiming mark, a
pattern was dropped, of which the centre charge produced a plune that told
us that the desired effect had been achieved. The only damage to Sheldrake
was a few light fittings on the Stokers Messdeck caused by the capstan engine
'whipping' on the light deck above.
6. Acting Petty Officer Albert Edward Jackson, Official No. 0/JX/125587
In addition to Lieutenant Rose I wish particularly to mention
my Chief Boatswains Mate, whose energy din the whaler was largely responsible
that the depth charges were placed.
7. for those concerned was the resoue of the survivors of H.M.Trawler
The second incident which I submit should receive. recognition

At 2335 an M.T.B. was observed keeping station at 15 knots on the
quarter of Sheldrake, distant about 3 cables. Before fire could be
opened I heard the 'plop' of the torpedo at 2336, and realising
too close to turn and ram and would expose my beam dangerously I

The figures for May 28th gave grounds for hope. 17,804 troops were trans-
ported to England⁴ (of which 11,835 were transported by destroyers). Of
these, 11,874 were lifted from Dunkirk east pier, and 5,930 from the beaches.

FRIDAY, 31ST MAY
CHAP. VIII
Cyclone, was on her way to Dunkirk when, apparently between T buoy and the
West Hinder, the track of a torpedo was seen at 0121 crossing from port to
starboard 10 yards ahead; a minute later another track was seen to port,
and although avoiding action was taken the torpedo struck forward and con-
siderably damaged her, but the Cyclone was still able to steam and she pro-
ceeded back to Dover at 4 knots escorted by an English vessel; later, the
French torpedo boat Bouclier and then the French minesweeper Arras took
over the duty of escort. The Cyclone reached Dover at 1600, having trans-
ferred two serious casualties to an English M/B while on passage. She took
no further part in "Dynamo".
Siroco sunk
At 0145, some 20 minutes after this attack, the French destroyer Siroco, on
her way to Dover with 770 troops from Dunkirk, was hit near T buoy by 2
torpedoes fired by an E-boat which had stopped and was unseen in the dark-
ness; the destroyer Vega, on patrol 4 miles to the south-east, saw a column of
flame 200 feet high. The Siroco capsized shortly after. Survivors to the
number of 252 were picked up, 50 by the trawler Wolves, 21 by the trawler
Stella Dorado, 166 by the corvette Widgeon and 15 by the Polish destroyer
Blyskawica.
At 0700, the Vega, which had been on patrol since noon 28th May, was
relieved by the destroyer Jackal.
It was on this morning that clear evidence of the presence of enemy sub-
marines was obtained, for the Vimy, en route to Dunkirk, sighted the periscope
and conning tower of one between the North Goodwin buoy and the North-
West Goodwin buoy. A depth charge was dropped, and a hunt began in which
the trawlers Westella and Spurs, the corvette Sheldrake, and the Jackal joined,
but without success.
Conditions on the beaches
Meanwhile, conditions on the beaches were by no means favourable. Already
at 0400 a lop had started. At about 0600 the R.N.L.I. life boat Lord South-
borough was ferrying troops to the destroyer Icarus off Bray. 'There was a
nasty surf," said the coxswain of the life boat. "Troops were rushing out to
us from all directions and were being drowned close to us and we could not get
to them
it seemed to me we were doing more harm [than good] by drawing
the men off the shore, as with their heavy clothing, the surf was knocking them
over and they were unable to get up.
The whaler from the destroyer.
was
swamped, so was the motor pinnace that was working with the whaler, and so
it was all along the sands as far as I could see, both sides of us, and there was
not a boat left afloat".
At 0600 also, Lt. Col. R. L. Hutchins, M.C., Grenadier Guards, in command
of the War Department motor launch Swallow, arrived off Dunkirk, and des-
cribed the situation as follows: Dunkirk was under a pall of smoke from fires
which appeared to be mainly to the south and west of the port. There were
numerous wrecks outside the harbour, and along the beaches. There were
large numbers of troops on the shore as far as it was possible to see to the east-
ward, and the beach was strewn with all forms of motor transport. Along the
foreshore were a very large number of pulling boats, aground, capsized or
damaged, and abandoned. There were also a considerable number of motor

1.
Operations in which Sheldrake has been involved during the
evacuation from Dunkirk has enabled certain officers and men to distinguish
themselves in H.M.Ship under my command. The circumstances are outlined
below so that the necessary action may be taken by you should you concur.
2.
Sheldrake was ordered by C-in-C. Nore. to proceed to the KWINTE BUOY
and destroy the Asdic Apparatus of one of our destroyers wrecked in the vicinity
3.
On arrival 'Wakeful' was found to be lying completely capsized
with her stern resting on the bottom and only the forefoot visible, which
appeared from oil marks on the waterline to be seni buoyant. A Boat under
the command of my First Lieutènant, Lieutenant HUGH WILLIAM MACKENZIE ROSE, R.N.
was sent over and placed a berthing wire running from the bull ring round
the keel, to the bull ring the other side. It was intended to hang depth
charges on this 'necklace' and countèrmine them with other depth charges,
using Bickfords fuze.
4.
For the second trip with two depth charges, it was necessary
to tow the whaler to the wreck oh the end of a grass and to pump out oil
fuel from Sheldrake to counteract the effects of ground swell and strong
tide, which made operations difficult, particularly on the weather aide.
Good seamanship and stout hearts succeeded in placing one charge on either
bow in the required spot without damage to the boat. Throughout the
operation all were acutely aware that we were only 10 miles from Dunkirk
with aircraft of both sides passing the ship at intervals, and that at bomb
in the vicinity of a boat would have countermined the depth charges that
they were placing.
5.
On the whalers return to the ship for the demolition charges,
C-in-C. Nore's signal "Cancel my 1044 area now mined" was received. It
confirmed our own fears that we had been working in a mined area. It
seemed a pity to leave the job half done and it was decided to sink the
wreck by gunfire using D.A. fuze asnear the required area as possible, and
if the ship sunk before the charges placed had been exploded, to fire them with
a countermining pattern of depth charges. She sank inside ten mintes, and
using the escaping bubbles from the punctured stem as an aiming mark, a
pattern was dropped, of which the centre charge produced a plume that told
us that the desired effect had been achieved. The only damage to Sheldrake
was a few light fittings on the Stokers Messdeck caused by the capatan engine
'whipping' on the light deck above.
