Without a doubt - though Dunkirk wasn't that much of a shambles was it?
Though you can imagine these organisers selling the D-Day rescue missions as a "leisurely jaunt across the gorgeous open seas, to be be met with fresh fine french cuisine and gourmet wines, breads and cheeses..."
Though for those of us (very) new to the game it did the job.
To be fair, it was one (bunch) of guys who do it regularly and thought they could expand their annual trip and make a bit of coin out of it, and I suspect when the numbers totted up it wasn't quite the moneyspinner they thought it was, and their lack of experience showed.
