Little Boats Prepare For The 75th Anniversary Of Dunkirk

LONDON, ENGLAND - MAY 16: A group of 'Little Ships' waits in Teddington Lock on the River Thames on May 16, 2015 in London, England. Every five years a re-enactment of Operation Dynamo takes place. In 1940 forty three privately owned small boats sailed to Dunkirk on the European mainland to help with the evacuation of the defeated British Expeditionary Force as German forces reached the Channel. This year marks the 75th anniversary of their famous and heroic voyage. The small ships will again sail for Dunkirk on Thursday May 21, 2015. (Photo by Peter Macdiarmid/Getty Images)
