He sailed in the Red Hackel. I believe that Jim Read was my uncle. I was 8 years old when the Falcon went down, all of our neighbors were part of the fishing industry and that loss was felt by the whole town. I remember waving my dad off from the Prom near the ferry and being there when he docked. I live in the USA now but on my last visit to Fleetwood I got to see the statue of the family waving to their loved ones, very touching.
