Gracing the Deben on 1st September 2006
This 30' gaff cutter was built in 1898 at Folkstone as a gentleman's yacht and has the honour
of being listed as a Dunkirk Little Ship.
Previous owners include Sir Lancelot Elphinstone (cousin of Queen Victoria) who, ironically, was
taken prisoner at Dunkirk whilst his former yacht carried survivors to safety.
