' The two single-screw Motor Launches "San Toy I" and "San Toy II" of the Southend Motor Navigation Co., Owner-Operators Skipper A.E. Brand and Chief Engineer W.H. Wilson. These two launches licensed for 65 passengers each, were requisitioned on 27th May, 1940 for service off the shallow-water Dunkirk beaches during Operation Dynamo - running a ferry service between the beaches and larger ships anchored-off in deeper water, - a duty for which they were uniquely suited since the French conditions were so similar to their normal summer operations at Southend.
