Three score and ten!!👍

I got seasick on Torpoint ferry in rough weather that was enough for me

I just watched a documentary on the Penlee disaster and I cannot agree more with what you say. Brave isn't a good enough word for them, absolute legends everyone of them.

This is about the loss of the fishermen and you forgot to mention all the independent lifeboat stations who get no funding from the RNLI.

Sorry to hear

So sorry for your loss, from a native Californian.

That's pretty simplistic .That's like saying you chose to drive your car to work and the fact you were killed in a car accident is just your decision to drive your car that day, so, oh well. Really? Not a critical thinker much.

Ed Orlando ur a clown ull get a slap of the real world some day mate

Trouble is Europe gave huge subsidies to Irish fishermen to buy new boats, gear and gave them bigger quotas than their fellow fishermen in England, Scotland and Wales. All these new fishermen (skippers) were driving around in top of the range cars. BMW'S Mercedes ect. This makes captain and crew greedy and more willing to take risks. He should never have been casting his nets so close to the rocks in that weather. Their last big haul was a devil in disguise, had they hauled a empty net they'd have likely cut their losses and headed for shelter, but the thought of a few extra thousands of Euros pushed them to take risks. I don't blame anyone as there are quite a few skippers who will take risks especial if they know their crew are up for it. Sadly the sea came back and bit them on the arse. RIP all lives lost at sea and a massive thank you to the Royal National Lifeboat Institute who protect and rescue folk all around the British Isles, including Ireland free and gratis. There is no other service like it in the world. Ps I worked an inshore long liner of f the coast of Devon for several years catching Bass and Bream and know how quickly a light breeze an become GF 8 with wind against tide and the sea becomes a boiling devil. I am an Atheist,.but these are the times I prayed like a Nun for deliverance.

@@RicTic66my experience as well, too many in this tough trade are plain greedy and outright careless about basic maintenance and security. As experienced technician I've maintained their vessels, trained and worked with them in the North Sea. Near miss accidents is almost a daily routine, most equipment is run until breakdown. Accident reports all too often tells lack of maintenance is the cause of tragedies ... Criticism is laughed at, ridiculed and all to often plain ignored. Each to his own 🙄🤦🏼

What you sorry for ED?

The man is Irish, not English. Nobody in this video talks with an accent.

That Patrick McShea was my great-great-grandfather too.

@@safedba Patrick's granddaughter & James' daughter, Mary McShea married John Reynolds of Creevy and they were my grandparents. Are you from the same branch of the family or another? Google the song "Donegal Danny" sung by Ronnie Drew of the Dubliners, a sad song about the sole surviver of a Donegal fishing tragedy neat Killibegs. Stay safe from the corona virus.

@@buailebawns2162 James McShea was my Great-grandfather's younger brother by a year or so. Patrick, his brother moved to the US first to Rhode Island and was going to be a priest, but ended up marrying a Margaret Kennedy, and ended up in Connecticut where he did a bunch of things, cigar manufacturing, rifle making, farming - that ended up what the family did. I have a ton of Reynolds on the tree, so we're distant cousins. You can reach me at safedba@gmail
