19. juni 1940 kl 17: Kristianiafjord stimer for full maskin fra Le Verdon mot Falmouth. Alle 18 brennerne går for fullt, alle har det travelt med å komme seg vekk fra tyske flyangrep. De siste nettene har Luftwaffe gått til angrep på havnen flere ganger med knatrende maskingevær og bomber. Bordeaux angripes senere samme dag. Ute i åpen sjø er skipet tryggere. Luftwaffe holder seg til land foreløpig, og heldigvis angriper ikke ubåtene. Skipet er framme allerede kl 12 neste dag. Kristianiafjord ankrer ute på havna.

Rundt skipet ankommer stadig nye passasjer- og lasteskip med flyktninger fra den franske kysten. «Boats of every description were coming across the Channel filled with service personnel and civilians escaping to freedom. The Falmouth Bay was filled with vessels. […] We were amazed at the number of vessels, all with their decks filled with people, desperate to be safe.” (Vic Angove). “[...] confused refugees, everywhere you looked these poor people having left their countries not knowing what was going to happen to them or how they were going to live, having left everything behind, it was all very tragic. This was the first time that I had seen Falmouth Harbour so crowded with ships of all shapes and sizes that you couldn’t put a pin between them.” (Norah Butler).

18-20. juni registreres 128 skip som ankommet havnen. Havnekontoret innrømmer selv i journalen sin at «The dates of arrivals in Falmouth Bay are only approximate in consequence of the very large numbers of vessels anchoring there during the month of June.” Sant nok: Kristianiafjord registreres ikke som ankommet før 22. juni. Da har hun ligget for anker i 2 døgn allerede og gått videre til Southampton ved middag. Hun rekker likevel å laste 40 tonn ferskvann i Falmouth.

D/S Kristianiafjord blir liggende utenfor Fawley sør for Southampton fram til 1. juli.
