The unique vessels behind the miracle of the Dunkirk evacuation
267The 85th anniversary of the evacuation of Dunkirk has been commemorated by 64 of the original little ships, leaving Ramsgate and heading back to the beaches.
All 64 of the ships leaving had taken part in the famous evacuation of nearly 340,000 British and Allied troops from Dunkirk in 1940.
They'd become trapped on the beaches by the advancing German military.
The call came for help, for ships of all shapes and sizes to rescue them, and 600 answered the call.
