My father sailed many of these trawlers as a young 14 year old and later became skipper at 18 and was skipper in the cod war. My sister and I used to jump on his trawlers when they pulled into Hull docks. My father shared some sad but wonderful stories of the sea. Captain Edward A Barkworth sadly passed away April 11th 2015. RIP Hull Fishing and Dad
