MV Warrior 1912
Got to love this piece of history
This vessel was built in 1912 and now still in full working order 108 years later
She served in WW1 and WW2 including being a lead vessel in the Dunkirk evacuation of 1940. A classic vessel that not only served in various war time missions but continues today cruising Europe
The only one of its kind

ダンケルク【IMAX】観た。 ・ 久しぶりに期待して観に行ってよかった! どう生き延びるのか?それだけが非常に気になっていた。 前に誰かが言った。「誰かと海外に行って襲われたら、真っ先に自分だけ逃げるんだよ!男気なんか出しちゃダメだ!」って、そのくらい冷めた視点で観た方がいいかも。 ・ ところで、トム・ハーディーのファリアのその後が気になる。 名作「大脱走」のマックイーンのヒルツはアメリカ兵だけど、ファリアは捕虜になって脱走はしないにしてもヒルツみたいになったんじゃないかな〜って勝手に思った。 ケネス・ブラナーがまたいい! ホント、Sirだよ。 ・ そういえば、丸ピカで35mm上映やってんだよな〜。 「インターステラー」は35mm観てIMAX観た。 今回はIMAXだけでいーかなー?って思ってた。 けど、コレは特に35mmも脳裏に必要だわ! ・ #ダンケルク #dunkirk #クリストファーノーラン #christophernolan #フィン・ホワイトヘッド #fionn Whitehead #トムグリンカーニー #tomglynncarney #ジャックロウデン #jacklowden #ハリースタイルズ #harrystyles #アナイリンバーナード #aneurinbarnard #ジェームズダーシー #jamesdarcy #バリーコーガン #barrykeoghan #ケネスブラナー, #kennethbranagh #キリアンマーフィー #cillianmurphy #マークライランス #markrylance #トムハーディ #tomhardy ・ #第二次世界大戦 #worldwar2 #ダイナモ作戦 #operationdynamo #ダンケルク大撤退 #dunkirkevacuation ・ #戦争映画 #warfilm #映画 #movie #film #ビバムビ

Operation Dynamo: The evacuation of the British Expeditionary Force from the beaches at Dunkirk, France. Approximately 400,000 British (& Canadian), French, and Belgian troops were rescued between May 27th and June 4th, 1940. These troops would later be vital in the North African theater of operations as well as the later landings in Italy and Normandy. As Churchill said on June 4th, as the operation was coming to an end, "... We shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we will defend our island, whatever the cost maybe, we shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the New World (the United States), with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and liberation of the old." May-June 1940. (NCJ/TheTimes Archive) Exact date of photograph unknown. #Dunkirk #WWII #BEF #OperationDynamo (at Dunkirk, France)

Dunkirk is an upcoming English-language war film written, co-produced, and directed by Christopher Nolan. Set during World War II, it concerns the Dunkirk evacuation. The film is a co-production between the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, France, and the United States. Nolan wrote the story with the intention to tell it from three perspectives – the air, land and sea. Efforts were made to create suspense solely through details, as the script contained little dialogue. Dunkirk is scheduled to be released on 21 July 2017. #HollywoodCiak #Dunkirk #Nolan #ChristopherNolan #WorldWarII #war #Dunkirk evacuation #OperationDynamo #MiracleofDunkirk #evacuation #Allied #soldiers #harbour #comingsoon #followme

Cheerful British soldiers very happy to be in the UK after being evacuated from Dunkirk during Operation Dynamo (26th May-4th June 1940). Two wearing labels with upbeat slogans. "Hitler's Grave Berlin" and "We demand Hitler Alive".
Operation Dynamo was a massive evacuation effort conducted by the British Navy during World War II in 1940. The operation aimed to rescue British soldiers who were trapped on the beaches of Dunkirk in France after the German army had advanced rapidly across the country during the Battle of France. The operation involved the coordinated effort of more than 800 vessels, including warships, fishing boats, and pleasure crafts, which eventually transported over 338,000 soldiers to safety in England.
The operation was a crucial turning point in the war, as it allowed the British army to regroup and eventually fight back against the German forces. It was a remarkable feat of military planning and logistics, as the British Navy faced numerous challenges, including continuing pressure from the German land forces, constant air attacks from the Luftwaffe, ongoing organisational and logistical issues and unpredictable weather conditions.
Despite these challenges, the operation was a success, and it remains a defining moment in British military history and has come to be known as ‘The Miracle of Dunkirk’.

#WW2: 80 years ago, on "May 26, 1940, the Allies launch Operation Dynamo, a massive rescue operation to save troops surrounded by the Axis in Dunkirk, France. In just one week, nearly 350,000 British, French, & Belgian soldiers will be evacuated while (the Nazis') Luftwaffe planes try to hinder the operation." Churchill and his advisers had expected that it would be possible to rescue only 20,000 to 30,000 men, but in all 338,000 troops were rescued from Dunkirk, a third of them French. Ninety thousand remained to be taken prisoner and the BEF (British Army) left behind the bulk of its tanks and heavy guns. All resistance in Dunkirk ended at 9.30am on June 4th.📖 📸(Photo: Troops evacuated from Dunkirk on a destroyer about to berth at Dover, May 31, 1940.
