It was a sad day when they took Radio Carolline off the air, the same was done to radio london , bloody BBC only did it because it was free and nobody was listeninng to their boring radio shows, I havent listerned to the radio since they were stopped, sad sad day, Ann Carolan from Southern Ireland,
Piracy indeed! The raiders were the pirates here, a complete breech of international law. Caroline was a thorn in the side of the UK government for far too long for them and this was their last resort to stop them.
After 02:19 is not the raid I think (e.g. "Volens" is not visible for that bit), but instead the temporary antenna system (that had been put up soon after the original ~300 foot mast collapse) being replaced by a new permanent (much more robust) antenna. I have heard that the raiders had been instructed to dismantle the antenna system but had not done so in practice - because doing so was a much harder job than their boss(es) had imagined.
A foretaste of what was to come. Governments don't like free people being able to broadcast anything that they don't approve of. It's the establishment line, or nothing.
I never knew they took the masts. It looks as though they only took sections off the top of the big mast. But I has no idea that they had crew trained in aerial rigging to dismantle the antenna!
It must have been scary frightening and terrible to have been violated so badlybby dutch authorities i cannonly hopecanybequipment which wqs removed on thatcfateful day has been rightfully restored to its rightful place on the ship including the record library
if that was an american boat, they would have taken fire before they even got close. the crew should have fought like hell and sent this event down in history humiliating the english govt .
UK government can raid a ship in international waters playing pop music but can't stop ANY of the hundreds of thousands of migrant dinghies sailing over the past 20 years who come to invade the UK almost daily

Radio caroline rule today
best radio to me..greetings from croatia
The ending - where the signal suddenly ends where that guy cuts a wire on the tower - is quite dramatic. TY for posting this clip.
Its incredible that they've done this and also to plunder the inventory...it's disgusting! 🤮 Love to all people of Caroline. ❤
This makes me sad again.
and we're expected to believe that the British government had no part in this.
As today controlling the narrative is vital to the status quo...

Yes, I am sure they did not take down the masts. Radio Caroline people can be seen working in these film clips.
And the Dutch ship is not along side when you see people working on the masts
Who were the real 'pirates' here??? 😡
Were the dutch government ever prosecuted for this action? Was radio caroline compensated?
Your kidding right ?
Yes. Many years later the plundered equipment was returned, much of it back on Ross Revenge, although I don't believe there was any fiscal remediation
Freedom is scaring for the bureaucrats....
The british Gouvernement just Look from His boat. No Help. No Coast guard.
Frightening for all on board !
This is brilliant...wow history her!!!!!!
her who ? who are you talking about ?
@@ronanzann4851 they meant "here"
A very sad day.
Boarding a ship in international waters. Which one is the pirate exactly?

Piracy !

They had no right.

You're right. An American crew would have shot hell out of the pirates.

So you see where the UK governments priorities are. And its the same with all the other European governments.
