This ship WILL NOT die of shame. A Dunkirk small boat.

Walton on Thames

"Papilion" one of the very small boats that went to Dunkirk in 1940 to bring our troops home.
The story of these small boats is almost unbelievable.
To watch it sailing past 70 years later is a wonderful feeling.

Very pretty. Not sure I'd want to cross the Channel in it. But I would have lept aboard in 1940.
