Heres the 2nd Dunkirk Veteran boat Anne being loaded at Jalsea Marina, Northwich today, to be delivered on Tuesday to the same place as Alusia. It may look in quite good condition on the pics but I can assure you the hull is rotten & a great deal of re-planking will be required to get her sea worthy again. She still sports her original Ailsa Craig peterol engines which look in good condition.
At the time of Dunkirk, the Anne belonged to Mr. P.J. Darby and before the war end belonged to a Dr. McCracken. As in so many histories of Dunkirk Little Ships, her precise war-time service has not been recorded, but her name appears in all the official records.
