Dunkirk Little Ships
The Dunkirk Little Ships are a fleet of boats that played a crucial role in the evacuation of over 330,000 British and Allied soldiers from Dunkirk in 1940. During Operation Dynamo, these civilian vessels—everything from fishing trawlers to pleasure boats—braved enemy fire to rescue stranded troops, playing a key part in the success of the operation.
The Legacy
Today, the Dunkirk Little Ships are a powerful symbol of courage and are an important part of maritime history. Many of the boats that took part in the evacuation are still around, with some carefully restored to preserve the story of those who risked their lives to save others.
