Dennett's

For over 65 years, Dennett Boat Builders has been dedicated to restoring and preserving historic wooden boats, with a special focus on Dunkirk Little Ships. These vessels, part of the legendary "Little Ships of Dunkirk" fleet, played a crucial role in the 1940 Operation Dynamo rescue, saving over 336,000 Allied soldiers from the beaches of Dunkirk. Founded by Michael Dennett, this family-run yard keeps tradition alive, ensuring these vessels remain seaworthy for future generations. As the 85th anniversary of Operation Dynamo approaches, Dennetts is hard at work preparing these historic boats for their voyage back to Dunkirk. This is a true testament to British craftsmanship and maritime heritage.
