B.E.F. Ships before, at and after DUNKIRK

Lot # 42      

Very good if not better condition. Excellent book on the ships used during the Dunkirk evacuation in 1940. All the ships big and small are listed including their post Dun...morekirk history. The sizable fleet allocated to carry the B. E. F. to France consisted of cross-Channel passenger ships, for military personnel, and ocean-going and short sea cargo ships for transporting vehicles, stores, fuel and equipment. When it came to the evacuation, every type and size of ship--from passenger liner to motor yacht--was pressed into service as part of the evacuation fleet and the role which these vessels had played immediately prior to that time was largely irrelevant. In order to give a better impression of the type of ship referred to, the descriptions adopted in this book related to the vessels' pre-war use, although mention is made in Section 2 of any interim employment of the main ships.
