Remains of the British steamer “HMS Devonia” on the beach of Zuydcoote (near Dunkirk), a reminder of the WWII Dunkirk evacuation in 1940. The Devonia came under air attack and after an explosion caused serious leaks astern, the commanding officer was instructed to beach the vessel as far inshore as possible in the hope that she could be used as a jetty and boarding point by the troops.
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 #History
