Film clip about the Dunkirk Little Ships

This lovely little clip is part of a longer film about a lonely man, (played by Richard Harris), who helps a local girl, (played by Jenny Agutter), rescue a wounded goose from hunters. “The Snowgoose” by Paul Gallico was first published as a story in 1940. It was filmed as a TV movie and won a Golden Globe Award, with Jenny Agutter winning an Emmy,,

Towards the end of the film, as shown in this clip, the Maldon Dunkirk fleet of Little Ships is featured and of course there are lots of barges.

There’s a nice piece on the In the Boatshed website about sb Ethel Everard at Dunkirk  –  very relevant as the 75th anniversary of Dunkirk approaches.   Here’s a link to the site, which itself has a link to a site with the Everard history.
