Sounds like the unveiling went well, and has been really well received by the fishing community and wider interests.
I have no idea about the trawler men, Fez seems to know more than most with his family background. But none of them really work for me, some are far too busy and don't reflect the danger or perilous conditions these men faced. It's a difficult one I imagine, but none of them strike me as being suitable.
I have a vague memory of the despair in Hull during the winter of 1968. At the time my Mum, sister and me were homeless and staying with some friends on Hessle Road. The only things I kind of remember is having to share a bed, being unbelievably cold and adults waiting for news. Just waiting, for days. With nothing. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hull_triple_trawler_tragedy_(1968) If you want a sense of the destruction, devastation and danger of the trawlerman's life just look at this pdf. http://www.hullhistorycentre.org.uk...collections/sourceguides/lost_trawlermen.aspx Their working conditions were beyond my understanding. I have nothing but the upmost admiration for them. RIP to all who lost their lives working at sea.
There is an incredibly moving and well designed memorial to lost fishermen and vessels in Lunenberg, Nova Scotia. A panoramic view can be seen at: http://www.360cities.net/image/fishermens-memorial-in-lunenburg-nova-scotia-canada
I was working on the fish dock in 68 and it certainly was a sad time, I knew Harry Eddom who was the sole survivor, he certainly got hounded by the media afterwards.
