Little Ships of Dunkirk
« on: February 16, 2021, 05:06:06 pm »

My Mystery boat recently turned another page when purely by chance I fond an article showing Dunkirk beach during and after the evacuation. My boat,, the Gwen Eagle, was on the beach. :o


From there I discovered the Dunkirk little ships association web site which lists the Gwen Eagle as sunk.


In the list is a boat I have seen here, The Bluebird of Chelsea.
 Are there any more famous little ships here? 8)

Scroll down to the G list, Green eagle is a half dozen above Gwen Eagle.

I think you'll find they are pretty much all mine. :D  I've been looking for its history for over a dozen years now. Only found out about the dunkirk connection last month.
