Do You Want Little Ships to Come and Help?

Britain has a ten thousand strong merchant vessel fleet. Only about forty can be spared for the evacuation, just in the wrong place. The bulk of the work is being done by the destroyers and a handful of merchant vessels. But you don't want that many off shore. You want them on the mole. On this next day, it's 58000 am 823 men are evacuated, and most of those are coming from the mole. And suddenly it's all into look a little bit better. But you know, these are still very, very apocalyptic scenes.
