Abstract

“In the months of January and February 1968 three Hull trawlers sank with the loss of fifty eight men. The tragedies came in quick succession, hitting the Hessle Road community with the force of a tidal wave. For the immediate relatives, the loss of a father, brother or son was devastating, but in such a close-knit community it affected everyone. It was a mass bereavement. The women of Hessle Road had lived with the tragedy for generations, but in 1968 they refused to accept that the loss of their men was an accident of nature or fate.
