Grandson: The little ships of Dunkirk saved my Grandfather
In 1940 the little ships of Dunkirk sailed from Ramsgate to Dunkirk, to rescue more than 338,000 British and French soldiers who were trapped on the beaches there during the Second World War.
Joe Radmore and his family bought the Silver Queen from the Dunkirk Restoration Trust because his grandfather, Barry Wareham, was rescued by a similar ship.
Now, 75 years on, they are taking it back to the place where Barry was rescued in Dunkirk, aged just 19.
