Zuydcoote

Travel Guide

At first sight it may seem a heap of scrap metal, but in fact these are the stripped remains of the British steamer “H.M.S.Crested Eagle” on the beach of Zuydcoote (near Dunkirk). The wreck is a tragic reminder of the WWII Dunkirk evacuation: operation Dynamo. The Crested Eagle run aground on May 29, 1940 after being attacked by German dive bombers and set on fire, killing 300 soldiers and crew. Operation Dynamo: between the 27th of May and the 4th of June of 1940, some 338.000 mainly British, but also French and Belgian troops were evacuated from the beaches as they fled a German advance towards the coast. The rescue was regarded as a success but there were also around 90,000 killed, wounded or taken prisoner. During the operation 243 ships were sunk and the RAF lost 106 aircraft. The shipwrecks on the beach of Zuydcoote can only be seen at spring tides. This shot was taken during low tide on April 1st, 2018 #BeachTips! #BVSBlue #LocalSecrets #Trovember #History
