What ship is that?

(A sinking one, I know.)

That was the French battleship Bourrasque that was sunk on May 30, 1940, while evacuating Dunkirk.

The majority you see here were saved but many died in the water as depth charges went off as the ship sank.

I recently studied this incident after having read "Atonement" by Ian McEwan.
