Tuesday 6 February 1968, the #HeadscarfRevolutionaries travelled to London to meet government ministers. There aim was to improve safety at sea after the #TripleTrawlerDisaster. Three ships were lost with 58 men. Their campaign led to major reform in working practices and saved countless lives.
There is no more a dangerous job than a deep sea fisherman, a fact brought into sharp focus in winter 1968, when three #Hull trawlers were lost claiming 58 lives. There was just one survivor, Harry Eddom. First mate on The Ross Cleveland. #TripleTrawlerDisaster
The Ross Cleveland sailed from #Hull on 20 January 1968 under the command of skipper Phil Gay. 58 years ago tonight she was fishing off Isafjordur, Iceland during the worst storm in living memory and was tragically lost. 18 men died and one survived. #TripleTrawlerDisaster

William Good lived in #Hull and was the cook on the Kingston Peridot. He fell on board and was injured. He was put ashore at Reykjavik to have X-Rays and then be sent home by air. That accident saved his life. The Kingston Peridot was lost very soon after. #TripleTrawlerDisaster
The Hull trawler Kingston Peridot was off north-east Iceland on 26 January 1968. The weather was bad and another trawler was told that she had ice building up on the ship, and was moving east, no more contact was made. The Kingston Peridot was tragically lost with all hands. #TripleTrawlerDisaster

A ship's voyage may end at a port, but its journey continues forever in the hearts of those it touched.
The beginning of 1968, three trawlers lost with 58 men. We will never forget them.
