To Alan Duggan
My grandad’s last ship was Boston Explorer on the 5th Jan 1977 and my uncle Pieter [mate] was on the Admiral Hawk in 1980. Have you any photographs of trawlers in rough seas fishing off iceland? Thank you, Harry
Im sure we have some images of trawlers in rough weather somewhere. Any specific vessel ?
To Alan Duggan
Thank you for replying,the photographs are with the rocks
in the background,most likely when the trawlers were
sheltering.
Thank you Harry.
