William,

Fleetwood has a long history of Trawlers being lost with all hands..
Remember the GOTH, she went north of Icelandin a terrible storm, never seen again,
The Funnel was recovered off Iceland by an Icelandic Trawler and returned to Fleetwood. It is now a Memorial to the 26 men and boys who went down with her, outside of ASDA.
