War victim

            These are the stripped remains of the British steamer “H.M.S.Crested Eagle” on the beach of Zuydcoote (near Dunkirk). The wreck is a tragic reminder of the WWII Dunkirk evacuation: operation Dynamo. The Crested Eagle run aground on May 29, 1940 after being attacked by German dive bombers and set on fire, killing more than 300 soldiers and crew.
The Crested Eagle was one of 228 larger boats lost in the operation. Including the smaller boats, the number of ships sunk is more than 300.
