Thread Name: Hull sea shanties?
Subject: RE: Hull sea shanties?
The Kingston Peridot sank with the loss of all hands in 1968. It was one of three trawler tragedies for the fishing port of Hull. Within a short space of time, the Ross Cleveland, the St Romanus and the Kingston Peridot all suffered the same fate. The above is a true account of how one young sailor managed to avoid tragedy

The above is taken from the link I gave you (The Luckiest Sailor Song). It really is a lovely song.
