For more than 150 years, this was the daily scene at St. Andrew’s Dock, where Hull staked its claim as the world’s largest fishing port. The scene may have changed, but Hull’s fishing heritage remains at the heart of the city.
This year marks 50 years since the tragic disappearance of the fishing trawler ‘Gaul’, along with its 36 crew members.
North Shields is paying tribute to the memory of the crew lost in this tragedy over 21-22 of September. The weekend of memorial events will honour the six crew from North Shields and 30 from Hull.
