Sundowner is a motor yacht formerly owned by Charles Lightoller, former second officer of the RMS Titanic.
She participated in the Dunkirk evacuation as one of the "little ships" as well as a number of commemorations of the event, and is now a museum ship at the Ramsgate Maritime Museum in Southern England.
