If you would like to contact the FFI website admin you can use the following email address info@fleetwood-fishing-industry.co.uk
We are always looking for fresh information or pictures on any past and present Fleetwood trawlers. The best information always comes from the people who work or have worked in the fishing industry and the stories those people could tell us would make us smile with the funny antics they have got up to aboard the trawlers or on the dockside. Some stories of loss and unfortunate incidents could also make us sit back and realize how they put their lives on the line so we could all eat.
So again if you have any information, pictures or stories you would like to share with us please email us at info@fleetwood-fishing-industry.co.uk
All information will be greatly received.
If you see any pages that appear broken or missing information please let us know.
Thanks
Jim Porter

Hi Alan,
I recently came back to the site where I written a short memory passage on my days in the Navigation school. I noticed there was a cooment at the end from a guy called Ron Spencer, who I did in fact work with in the UK. Would you have his email address, or how do I contact him or reply to his comment.
I have also lost my login and password, how can I find them or get new ones..best regards, John
Hello John, i have emailed you about the email request.
Hi Alan, Its been a while since i have visited the “Bosun’s Watch” and what a surprise i got, I was going to show my nephew some photos i had sent to Jim’s site the Bosuns Watch, but it seems that you are the now Proud Owner of the Fleetwood Trawlers site.
Has the old Bosuns Watch (and the photos) gone. I used to sail out of Fleetwood in the early sixties and still get nostalgic at the Trawler photos.
cheers
John
Hello John,
The old site for the bosuns watch has been revamped and is available here, http://www.fleetwood-trawlers.info/
Jim still runs the Bosun site which looks after the Sail and Steam era. This site that i look after is for the Motor vessels.
Thanks Alan

Have just bought a silver pocket watch inscribed W.MARSHALL/ S.T.Stoic/ To Commemorate 10th JULY 1917. Could this be connected with the ST Stoic sunk by U boat?
Hello andy are you meaning this vessel ? http://www.fleetwood-trawlers.info/?p=2551
Thanks Alan for info. It fits inscription on watch exactly. Regards Andy.

Hello Roy, i am unsure if this is the same vessel but there is a good chance it is. Hopefully someone may be able to give us an answer on here.
