My grandfather, a former Hull skipper, was skipper of the Lady Love, torpedoed with loss of all hands in August 1941. She had been diverted from her trip to rescue three survivirs from another ship, who were safely landed at Stornoway before the Lady Love was sunk. My son, James Berriman has recorded Lament for the Hull Trawlers; he's a 'catter so you could contact him via PM for an mp3. i sing the Lament and also Harry Eddom. Linda's 'Luckiest Sailor' completes a great trilogy.
