Dunkirk 'Little Ship' is lost in boatyard blaze: Historic vessel that took part in WWII evacuation is destroyed after huge inferno ripped through Grade II listed building on island in Thames
'Little Ship' the Lady Gay caught alight as it waited on the slipway on Platt's Eyot island in Hampton on Monday
Two Grade II-listed, timber-framed boathouses built in 1916 were also completely ravaged by the fire
Restorations were just carried out on Lady Gay, with owner dubbing destruction 'nothing short of tragedy'
Platt's Eyot is home to 2 other 'Little Ships', Mary Irene and Elvin, but both were moved out of reach of flames
