Steam Packet lifeboat to return to Dunkirk for commemorations

A 1930s Steam Packet lifeboat will return to Dunkirk to mark the 85th anniversary of the wartime evacuation. 

The restored wooden boat is privately owned by Matt Cain, and was once carried by the Lady of Mann - which took part in Operation Dynamo. 

Onboard will be Sarah Parry, the great granddaughter of the ferry's captain. 

It is hoped that the trip will highlight the nine Manx passenger vessels which helped the historic rescue.
