RNLB Guide of Dunkirk (ON 826)
RNLB ''Guide of Dunkirk'' (ON 826) was a lifeboat whose construction was funded by the Girl Guides in 1940. She was self-righting and designed for launching from a beach. As one of the "Little Ships" of Dunkirk she was used in the evacuation of Allied soldiers from Dunkirk in World War II. Between 1941 and 1963 she was stationed in Cornwall, UK as a lifeboat. In 1963 she passed into private ownership.
==Before Dunkirk==
The £5,000 needed to buy a lifeboat was one of the targets of the Guide Gift Week appeal of 1940. Money was donated by Guides throughout the British Empire from their salaries or, for those too young to work, by earning money doing odd jobs.
The ''Guide of Dunkirk'' was built by Rowhedge Iron Works near Colchester, UK, and was unnamed when she was called into service straight from the builder's yard for the Dunkirk evacuation on 1 June 1940. She had the designation ON 826.
