Capital Radio (pirate)

Capital Radio (not to be confused with the later British radio station of the same name) was a pirate radio station which operated from international waters off the coast of the Netherlands in 1970.[1] It was broadcast from the ship King David.[2] On 10 November 1970, the ship sent a mayday signal after it became unanchored during a storm, and later ran aground on the beach at Noordwijk.[3][2] The DJs were rescued by the Royal Netherlands Sea Rescue Institution, after which they were delivered to the police.[3]
