Yesterday’s sundowner: a Dunkirk Little Ship - the single most moving sight on the river all year...

[Dennett Boat Builder @DennettBoat]

Gorgeous restoration of a perfectly formed little boat . Out for trials today with owners , great day for lunch on the Thames. Very proud of Grace

[Dennett Boat Builder @DennettBoat]

@Iewen @Motorboat_Owner @Dunkirk_Ships @bbcsoutheast Strange as Navel Pinnaces unique shape gives out very little wash. However you are missing the point, Sundowner is a war hero, your post shows no regard for the 130 lives she saved, now it is her turn to be saved. Have a read https://t.co/bAUFIJTyM9

Dunkirk Little Ship Sundowner arrived at our yard this morning. Moored alongside fellow DLS @Breda1931 and Gay Venture, her new home for the next few years during her restoration. We are very proud to be able to work on a boat of such historical importance.
