The Hull trawler Kingston Peridot was off north-east Iceland on 26 January 1968. The weather was bad and another trawler was told that she had ice building up on the ship, and was moving east, no more contact was made. The Kingston Peridot was tragically lost with all hands. #TripleTrawlerDisaster

William Good lived in #Hull and was the cook on the Kingston Peridot. He fell on board and was injured. He was put ashore at Reykjavik to have X-Rays and then be sent home by air. That accident saved his life. The Kingston Peridot was lost very soon after. #TripleTrawlerDisaster

The beginning of 1968 three trawlers lost taking 58 brave men with them. Their names and their courage endure, held forever in the heart of the community they loved. A ship’s voyage may end at a port, but its journey continues in the souls of those it touched.

There are no flowers on a fisherman’s grave,
No lilies on an ocean wave,
The only tribute are the seagull’s sweep,
And the teardrops on a loved one’s cheek.

There is no more a dangerous job than a deep sea fisherman, a fact brought into sharp focus in winter 1968, when three #Hull trawlers were lost claiming 58 lives. There was just one survivor, Harry Eddom. First mate on The Ross Cleveland. #TripleTrawlerDisaster
