A ship's voyage may end at a port, but its journey continues forever in the hearts of those it touched.
The beginning of 1968, three trawlers lost with 58 men. We will never forget them.

The #Hull trawler St. Romanus sailed from St Andrews Dock on 10 January 1968 and the last contact was a radio telephone call that night by the skipper Jim Wheeldon to his wife. A search began on 13 January but she was never found and lost with all 20 men. #TripleTrawlerDisaster

People will celebrate new year tonight who may not be here if not for the countless lives saved by the #HeadscarfRevolutionaries. What those women achieved was phenomenal. They brought about radical change in health and safety law on deep sea fishing vessels and will never be forgotten.
