SeapixOnlineDisplaying 1 of 1 BLUE BIRD (1938/175 tons) - commissioned from naval architects G.L. Watson & Co of Liverpool and owned by Sir Malcolm Campbell, then the fastest man on earth, BLUE BIRD is an original Dunkirk Little Ship. She and two others, all owned by Campbell, went to the WWII Dunkirk evacuation of 1940. BLUE BIRD is, at the date of this picture, Dutch-owned and based in Rotterdam. She is seen here outbound at Southampton, England as Red Funnel's Isle of Wight ferry Red Jet 3 passes to starboard. Astilleros de Mallorca completed the restoration of M/Y Blue Bird in 2007 after her Dutch owner sold her to British interests.
