EDITORS COMMENTS
The Hull trawler Junella, captured in this poignant photo print, stands tall in dry dock as it undergoes extensive repairs. The image takes us back to the fateful day of 28th October 1980 when disaster struck during a violent force nine storm off the coast of Eilean Troday, Isle of Skye. Battling treacherous conditions, the Junella tragically struck and grounded on the unforgiving Comet Rocks. This snapshot encapsulates both the resilience and determination that epitomize England's shipbuilding industry. Nestled within Hull's bustling shipyard on the Humber Estuary, workers tirelessly toil to restore this vessel to its former glory. Each hammer strike and welding spark symbolizes their unwavering commitment to maritime transport. The Junella serves as a testament not only to Yorkshire's rich seafaring heritage but also highlights the dangers faced by those who brave unpredictable waters for their livelihoods. This photograph transports us back to an era when fishing trawlers like Junella were vital lifelines for coastal communities across the United Kingdom. As we reflect upon this powerful image from Memory Lane Prints, let us remember those who risked their lives at sea and pay tribute to those who worked diligently behind-the-scenes in shipyards like these - forever etching their mark on history.
