Dunkirk Spirit
The Princess Elizabeth is a paddle steamer built between 1926 and 1927. She was named Princess Elizabeth to celebrate the birth of the Queen of England.
In May-June 1940, she took part in Operation Dynamo, accompanied by hundreds of 'little ships'. In four crossings, the ship managed to save 1673 Allied soldiers trapped at Dunkirk.
Today, the Princess Elizabeth can be seen from the Quai de l'Estacade, near the Pole Marine. It thus perpetuates the "Spirit of Dunkirk"...
