On Friday 22nd November 1991, the โ€˜Ross Revengeโ€™ was finally recovered from the Goodwin Sands using the combined power of Dover Harbour Board tugs 'Dextrous' and 'Deft'.

It was reportedly on the final attempt that our radio ship was refloated and towed into Dover Harbour. Were it not for these two powerful tugs and their skilled crews, itโ€™s fair to say the โ€˜Ross Revengeโ€™ would not have survived.

Both tugs were later sold to a towing company based in Venezuela. โ€˜Dextrousโ€™ was renamed โ€˜Cutlassโ€™, her sister โ€˜Deftโ€™ became โ€˜Scimitarโ€™.

On arrival at Dover โ€˜Ross Revengeโ€™ was initially tied-up alongside the Eastern Arm near the ferry terminal. Shortly afterwards she was towed across to Granville Dock where she would remain until 1993.

Thursday 21st November 1991, and our radio ship โ€˜Ross Revengeโ€™ sits high and dry, aground on the notorious Goodwin Sands off the Kent coast.

At the time this photograph was taken recovery of the ship looked increasingly unlikely, all previous attempts having failed. A salvage team from Dover Harbour Board can be seen working on the foredeck.

โ€˜Ross Revenge' was eventually freed at high tide the following day and towed into Dover Harbour. Our pirate days were over, but Radio Caroline continues.

On Wednesday 20th November 1991, the Radio Caroline ship โ€˜Ross Revenge' ran aground on the notorious Goodwin Sands off the Kent coast.

With a north-easterly force 10 causing mountainous seas, the anchor chain failed below the waterline in the early hours of the morning. The ship drifted for 17 miles before running aground at 03.50.

Shortly after 06.00 her six crew were airlifted to safety by the Rescue 166 Sea King helicopter of 202 Squadron based at RAF Manston in Kent. The operation took less than ten minutes.
