I was hoping to gain some opinions on what the key drivers and causes were of the declines in the industry such as European policies or declines in key fish populations. I am hoping these opinions will give me more personal research rather than just relying on books so I look forward to any responses

  winterburn thos.jpg (Size: 35.48 KB / Downloads: 2) Hi, My Husbands ancestor Thomas Winterburn was lost overboard in May 1924 on the S.T. Princess Victoria (FD50). The trawler returned to its homebase of Aberdeen afterwards.
I wondered if it is possible to find out about what happened and also his seamans details so that I can find out where he was living at the time of his death. I assume there would not have been a Death Certificate issued for him.
Thanks

I work for a TV Production company called Pioneer Productions based in London. I am a researcher working on a programme for National Geographic U.K on the newly released MOD UFO files.

In the programme, we will be looking into the series of events around East Anglia on the 5th October 1996 and I am trying to locate David Hutchinson and/or Mark Robson who I believe were crew on the MV Conocoast at the time, and then moved on to work on the Onward Mariner.

Can anyone help me locate them?

My phone number is 0208 748 0888 ex 222.

I wonder if anyone can help me with any information regarding a sidewinder trawler named RUFF (H34) I have an old photo of my late father stood under the funnel, with the H34 registration painted on it. [/size][/font]

I would like to get a painting/photo of the trawler to put a name to the face (so as to speak)

The trawler was owned by Brixham Trawlers Ltd (Dugdall & Son, managers) which was sold to the Boston group in the 1960's and that's about all the information I can find on her.

So far, I'm particularly looking for:
Photo of net drum(s) with net that includes floats & bobbins.
Grapnels.
Umbilicals.
Crab and lobster pots.
Stern trawler with a through deck (ie fishing deck that passes under the bridge).
Cabins & bunks both cramped and spacious.
Vacuuming fish from a hold.
Vacuum machinery.
Crab Aquaculture.
Shore Aquaculture.
Catamaran hulled fishing boat eg the Soviet Experiment
Buoys & floats used by fishing vessels incl. pneumatic.
Rope coiler.
Ramp at stern of trawler.
Mess & Galley on board a modern boat.
Rear of stern trawler showing ramp and towing blocks/barrel hanging beneath a stern gantry.
Sinking ship with unrestrained buoyant deck cargo and other flotsam floating free.
Beleaguered boat with stranded crew as life raft is blown away, or where rough seas prevent crew accessing life raft.
Radar reflector, ideally on a pole as used to mark the location of longlines in longlining.
Radio transmitter as used on buoys every 8 miles to mark the location of longlines.

I'd also like to be able to ask questions of someone with recent fishing experience who has a good understanding of the equipment.

All help appreciated. Thanks.

Although this request is not about the Trawling industry it relates to a sand dredging company that operated out of Fleetwood Docks up until the 1970's. Richard Abel & Co, becoming Keirby & Perry in the 1960's.

My request for information is about the sanddreger Alladale which was owned by this company and operated from the docks. The skipper at the time was one of my relatives Lou Atkin, what I am searching for is information and possible a photograph of this vessel.
