Thread Name: Songs about Hull
Subject: RE: Songs about Hull
Mike Waterson also wrote "Cold Coasts of Iceland" about the life of Jim Parkinson (longterm Whitby Festival goers may remember him as "Fish Jim") and the decline of Hull's deep sea fishing. His song "Three Ships" about the loss of the Kingston Peridot, Ross Cleveland and St Romanus in the 1968 Hull Trawler Disaster is a masterpiece.
