<p>Anne Croucher: Hull Times 2nd March 1889</p> <hr /> <div>This is rather different from the version I heard sung at the King George in Barnsley. It would have been in the late 1960s.<br /> The date and time of year of the storm have altered over time, but I believe that the original was by Willian Delf<br /> 'in memoriam of the poor fishermen who lost their lives in the dreadful gale from Grimsby and Hull February 8 and 9th 1889'<br /> <br /> That there names be not lost - there was <br /> Sea Searcher, trawl smack, Mr Joseph Ward, 5 hands<br /> John Wintringham cod smack, Master Mr John Guitesen, 11 hands<br /> Eton iron/steam trawl smack Mr H Smethurst jun. 8 hands<br /> British Workman 7 hands<br /> Sir Frederick Roberts 5 hands<br /> Kitten 5 hands<br /> Harold 5 hands<br /> <br /> There were more, I am sure but those are the only ones I know now.<br /> <br /> From the newspaper - Hull Times<br /> Altogether nearly a dozen fishing vessels carrying between 60 and 70 hands are missing.</div>
