100Tons 107ft loa TSMV New Prince of Wales, Sotuehnd motor navigation Co, owned and operated by Skipper A.E. Brand & Chief Engineer W.H. Wilson requisitioned for Dunkirk service and lost due to the untrained RN "scratch crew" assigned aboard, who had ignorantly topped-off the petrol/parafin fuel tanks with Diesel. This caused frequent engine-stoppages en route for Dunkirk and a final one off the La Panne beaches which gave the Germans a "static target. The young RN Sub.Lieut. Skipper P.H.E. Bennett and two of his equally young crew were saved by the MV Triton. The New Prince of Wales sank in very shallow water - just covering her main deck when she'd settled.two of her crew were killed.

This may be J. Polkinghorn's yawl "Dreadnought", which survived being laid-up in a mud berth through the war, and was converted to a twin-screw motor boat in 1946. certainly this was the beach pitch that Mr. polkinghorn was leasing from 1946 ro the 1960's.

One of the only two remaining "sailing lifeboats" of Southend, still operating in 1938 - many excursion-boat owners having bought motor launches. The other Sailing Lifeboat was operating from the Chalkwell beach - see aerial photo of that area. These lovely "lugger-rigged" sailing vessels were 60ft long, and double-ended. and the type had been a much-loved feature of the Foreshore from the late 1890's, but growing fewer each year as more motor vessels were introduced. Unfortunately this commentator doesn't know - with any certainty,- the names of any of the 3 large sailing vessels still operating from the foreshore just prior to the Outbreak of War on 3rd september, 1939.

The pretty and sightly 65ft "TSMV "Princess Maud" of the Southend Motor Navigation Co., Owner-Operators Skipper A.E. Brand and Chief Engineer W.H. Wilson. This Motor vessel was 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 the vessel was uniquely suited since the French conditions were so similar to her normal summer operations at Southend. Lost through stranding on a falling tide at Bray-Dunes, which caused her to be abandoned by her inexperienced RN crew. Adrodd fel Amhriodol	bargee1937	Thursday 18th of June 2015 03:12:51 PM

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.
