THE RAID ON THE ROSS REVENGE - RADIO CAROLINE

The events prior to, during and after the raid on the Radio Caroline ship 'The Ross Revenge', Saturday 19th August 1989.
See the arrival of the DTI vessel the Landward; it's the day before the raid. They instruct the crew to leave the ship & stop transmitting. Their demands are refused, they move off.
The very next day 'The Volan's' arrives, ties up along side 'The Ross Revenge'; the crew are overwhelmed by the numbers coming on board & is savagely plundered. See footage of 'The Volen's' and its crew boarding the ship as the raid is taking place. Bruce Munroe gives an account of the situation from the deck of the Ross.
Work starts on returning Caroline to the air with the dismantling of the front & rear masts, see the remains of the 558 studio, the record library and transmitters.

@Bolly558 look on rensmass.eu there is a full version of the raid shot by an employee of the dutch radio authority on the left hand side you will see pirate radio videos one is called live attack you see who is involved and who did what

To read the full account of what happened on the day and more, get the Nigel Harris book from the Radio Caroline website. I can highly recommend it. Its a Great read. The Dutch PTT, and British DTI should never be forgiven for what they did and enjoyed on the day. They call it vandalism and thuggery amongst the young on the UK streets nowadays. What was any different with this old act of piracy. Which amazingly still carries a sentence of hanging in the UK to this day....
