It's not actually about Hull but it's a song written by a native of Hull about his first trip to sea (in 1944) on a ship sailing out of Hull for one of the city's biggest ship operating companies (United Towing). Jim Radford's 'Shores of Normandy' qualifies as a Hull sea song in every meaningful sense.

Jim's other well known song, 'The Merchant Seaman' is also not speciifically about Hull but is a tribute to all the Merchant Seamen who sailed in WWII and especially to Hull's (and the UK's) youngest Merchant Navy Officer killed by enemy action during that conflict. Jack Radford (Jim's elder brother) was just seventeen when he got his Marconi Ticket and sailed as a Second Radio Officer (having gone to sea at 14 as a deckie) and his ship, thew SS Cree, was torpedoed in mid Atlantic just a month after his 18th birthday. The city is naturally referenced in the song's lyrics, along with Liverpool, Cardiff, London and various other ports (Jim occasionally varies the lyrics depending on where he is singing).
