Subject: RE: Maritime songs wanted please Hull area
Charley,
If I remember rightly. (I've got Bob's EP somewhere) it was a Collier Brigg and it went right past Hull to get a cargo of coal at Keadby on the Trent. Unfortunately the bottom was rotten and it came down the chute and went right through her bottom! The collier briggs mostly were loaded at Goole right upto 1986 when the trade stopped, but Keadby had a hoist too.
