Courageous Caronia

-

Caronia is a St Ives gig, built as a pilchard Seine netter on the beach at Tolcarne, Cornwall in 1927. In 1933 she came along the coast and was turned into a motor launch before returning to fishing and taking part in operation Dynamo, making her one of the famous and much-loved Dunkirk Little Ships.
