Moss Rose, Rose Marie and Gypsy King, confirmation
Hello, I also want to confirm local knowledge of a boat named 'Rosemarie' and registered to Flushing, as having served as a Little ship at Dunkirk. In my search for her history I discovered that;
On Friday the 31st of May, It seems that Rosemarie, Rose Marie as she is officially listed, was towed over, by the dutch Skoot ‘Hilda’ along with five other motorboats; Moss Rose, Lady Haig, Britannic, Gispy King, Golden Spray II, and two life-boats.
