I did wonder about the South Goodwin Lightship (LV90) in 1954, but only one man was saved and that was by US Helicopter.

A rescue of civilians?  From floods? 1953?


Close in so many respects.


Some civilians were rescued.


Water was involved.

From the clothing I'd assume the "affair" was Operation Dynamo, the evacuation from Dunkirk.
