Scarborough's Regal Lady readies to launch as floating museum honouring history of the 'Little Ships' of Dunkirk.
A proud legacy to the heroism of Dunkirk and the battles of war resounds in the Little Ships that once answered a rallying rescue call.
It was a fleet of fishing vessels and civilian yachts that sailed to the aid of Allied soldiers, stranded on the beaches of France in 1940 as the German army advanced.
Among them was a pleasure cruiser called the Regal Lady, which carried 1,200 men back to safety on British shores.
Now, resting in Scarborough harbour at the age of 91, she is fully restored to open as a floating Dunkirk museum.
