This ship was my grandfather’s first ship as Mate, though he was probably the last mate this ship had! He remembers describing the gallows as looking like ‘lace curtains’ because of all the holes and corrosion in them and warning the skipper, Alan Farr, that the least tug on them would probably bring them down. After asking if there was any beer aboard and popping down below he heard a migtycrash and came up on deck to find his prediction had come true… They then had the fun and games of getting the trawl back aboard without the gallows and heaped it on deck with the broken lumps of metal. My grandad remembers having to hide his face as they came back in dock looking like ‘The Wreck of the Hesperus’ as they passed some of the smart Northern boats with chaps he knew on them! After assessing condition of the ship and finding her plates almost as bad as the gallows the decision was made to scrap her, and he took her to holland on her last trip for demolition.
