Thanks but that was not my grandfather he was the owner of the trawler I have a photograph of a grave site on an island with the number 711 on it , looks like quite a few graves.

Hi good site , please try to get facts right, Ben Bee was lost from a ship called the scorpio. this ship was a home made build, owned by a chap called barry ,from the bury area of manchester. Ben,s crew was Dave Wright [ father Dick Wright,] affectianatly known as tiger. Also another great fisherman. Still fishing up until his mid seventy,s
when he hung up his wader,s. his vessel was ;JUDY; Last seen at the rear of the maratime musuem in fleetwood. It is with deep affection that I have been able to remember these men and many more, just because the vessel did not sail out of the dock doe,s not mean that they were any less fishermen. two great men that I had THE PRIVELAGE to know . hope this help,s
