A major event in May 2025 will commemorate the 85^th anniversary of Operation Dynamo and the role of the Little Ships in the Dunkirk Evacuation. A fleet of 60 of the original vessels is planned to assemble and then embark from Ramsgate Harbour.

Our next talk on October 24^th 7pm at the San Clu will set the scene!

The talk will be presented by:

Kevin Finn. Commodore of The Association of Dunkirk Little Ships, owner of ‘Brown Owl’ and Ramsgate resident.

Ian Gilbert. Honorary Vice Admiral of The Association of Dunkirk Little Ships and owner of ‘Lady Lou’.

The evening will cover two areas:

1. Operation Dynamo and the Dunkirk Little Ships.

A historical review of Operation Dynamo from different perspectives, together with a look at the types of vessels who took part and how.

2. The Commemorative Return to Dunkirk 2025.

What does this mean for Ramsgate, what events are taking place, how many Little Ships are attending, what is a support Fleet. How can you engage in the events taking place.

Doors open at 6:30pm and the talk of about 45 minutes will start at 7pm and be followed by about 15 minutes Q&A. Places must be booked in advance at £2 (+88p for Eventbrite costs). Non-members of the Ramsgate Society will be requested to add a voluntary donation of £3 on the door.
