The Fleetwood Motor Trawler Site

J. Marr’s vessels first operated out of the port of Fleetwood in 1898. The company of J Marr and Son was set up by by Ann Marr & James Herbert Marr in 1902 and was based at Fleetwood. The company offices were at the old custom house on Dock Street before moving to 228 Dock Street. Though having originated in Hull in the days of Joseph Marr, father of Mr James Marr, the Company’s trawlers were not again based in Hull until 1934 when, on the aquisition of the City Steam Fishing Company, Associated and Subsidiary companies at Fleetwood included the Active Steam Fishing Company, Devon Steam Fishing Company, Dinas Steam Trawling Company, The Lancashire Steam Fishing Company and, through several subsidiaries, a widespread network of wholesale fish merchants.
