Hello Aaron, unfortunately our database is not setup in a way that we can find trawlers that where sailing out of Fleetwood in between these dates.

The only way to find this out is to look through our records on this site and the Bosun’s watch site linked from the top left of this site.

If i find a way to pull the information from the database i will supply the information to you in an email.

Hello Deborah,

The only images of hulks we have on this site are listed here http://www.fleetwood-fishing-industry.co.uk/fleetwood-wrecks/

I took them in the middle of 2008, they are on Fleetwood Marsh. No images of hulks on Knott End im afraid.

Hello. My father was a dental surgeon practising in Fleetwood for several years and we lived on Laidleys Walk. I remember climbing on wrecks beached at Knott End, but nothing of them remain to this day. Do you have any information regarding these?

I attended Stella Maris Convent which fortunately for me closed, afterwhich I attended Cardinal Allen where I made many interesting “friends” much to my mother’s consternation!!!

I am now residing in Bolton and would appreciate any information regarding these hulks as I always imagined they were sailing ships rather than trawlers. Such is imagination.
