      Ship Claude. One of the more than 200 ships sunk during Operation Dynamo. Claude was supposed to bring drinking water to the soldiers between De Panne and Dunkirk. The ship was beached on 29 May 1940.

        The X37 ‘Claude’ was a barge that was requisitioned during Operation Dynamo to supply water to the Allied troops. The intention was that the Claude would be left on the beach once its cargo had been unloaded, which is what happened. The Claude now stands as a silent witness, slowly disappearing into the rising sea.
