Boat Wrecks of Hoo
AIRVŪZ STAFF NOTE :
The Hoo Peninsula of Kent, England separates the Thames and Medway rivers. Along the River Medway there lies a boat graveyard formed of sunken vessels. One of those is the 111-year-old Sailing Barge Ena, a ship that sailed as part of Operation Dynamo in World War II - the 1940 call from Winston Churchill for civilian boats to sail to Dunkirk and rescue the trapped British army. This was considered a pivotal moment in the war, as it preserved Britain's fighting capacity against Nazi Germany.

BADGES THIS VIDEO HAS EARNED:
A boat graveyard on the Hoo Peninsula, Kent. 115-year-old Sailing Barge Ena is among the boat wrecks currently decaying in a barge graveyard in the River Medway at Hoo. The historic vessel Ena was sailed out to Dunkirk on 31st May 1940 to help with the evacuation but her crew were forced to abandon her in deep waters. British troops without any sailing barge experience were able to board Ena and sail her back to the UK.
