On The Thames - 2018 Goring Lock - A boat, a dog, a plaque.

A slightly different selection than my usual pictures.
The boat intrigued me. Wooden, with a French name, and with a red ensign, plus the cross of St George.


I got closer, because of the dog.


That's when I saw the plaque -


Yes, L'Orage was one of the boats that went to Dunkirk and came back.
