Hard and dangerous work my great uncle was a 2nd engineer on the Lady jeanette in 1939, and the Trawler went down so he was killed, what a brave man he was as he was given an award for bravery for attempting to save a man in the north sea

the best fishermen in the world...what would they make of the waterfronts of hull and grimsby today?

Excellent: thanks for the upload: not much has changed on trawlers in 60 yrs. Next time, if you need some background music, let me know: I record my own.

this must be a sidewinder is it anyway . hard work

@thegreatlizzy Correct. A side-winder or side trawler versus the more modern and larger factory-owned stern trawler of today. Those old sidewinders were handsome craft with sweeping lines and a form well suited to the roiling waters of the North Atlantic. I like how they often switched sides (supposing they had two or more nets) and trawled on the port side and then at the starboard side to give the other nets a time to be mended or whatnot when they were idle. That's some awesome versatility.
