After a trans-Atlantic sailing trip from Edgartown, MA via the Azores we arrived at our destination of Gibraltar in early July 2001. Docked at the same marina was a 75' power yacht, older design, that was maintained in pristine condition by a small crew. The yacht was owned by wealthy individual who lived in Monaco. His crew would move the boat to various destinations and the owner would fly in and spend a week or two aboard. Afixed to the exterior bulkhead, about mid-ship, was a handsome bronze plaque designating that this craft had participated in the evacuation of Dunkirk.

Fascinating. How long ago was this?
