    Although the vessel was located eventually I believe the truth of what really happend, despite the official version, will always remain a mystery. My late father in law was on the Gaul's sister ship the Kurd before this tragedy and my wife and I went on board when he docked one time. A truely awsome vessle with all mod cons of the day, and yet no distress signal from the Gaul, RIP to those and all the fishermen who lost their lives in those times.

    Yes Stanley those are the tragedies I was alluding to and another trawler that actually sank in the Humber on its way home back in the 1950's I believe, Roderigo?
