Hi Brenda
Just read you comment on the New Britannic post card.
You will find that the skipper was Wally Read who sailed to Dunkirk with his son Joe (15 years old).
The people in the photo would have been holiday makers.
It could take up to 150 passengers at 3 shillings (15p) a go. Route normally to the Goodwin sands. Sailing twice a day in the 1930's
To find out more it is worth reading the book Hero at Dunkirk by Vine Cross ( isbn 978-1-407117-83-6)
(This is not an advert for selling the book)
I hope you find tis interseting
Regards Richard Read
