EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling port of Hull in the 1960s. The image showcases the trawler Orsino, undergoing modifications to become the prestigious Board of Trade Mother Ship for the UK northern fishing fleet. It was a significant moment for both the vessel and the industry as a whole. The Board of Trade had a noble mission - to support fishermen braving treacherous Icelandic waters during winter months. Equipped with meteorological information, medical assistance, and other essential services, this mother ship aimed to ensure safety and efficiency for British fishermen. The photograph captures an atmospheric scene on that rainy night in November 1968. Street lamps cast their warm glow upon cobblestone streets as workers diligently transform Orsino into its new role. The raindrops glisten on its deck, reflecting a sense of determination amidst challenging conditions. This snapshot not only highlights the importance of maritime trade but also pays homage to Yorkshire's rich fishing heritage. It serves as a reminder of how industries like these have shaped our nation's history. Preserved by Memory Lane Prints, this evocative image allows us to step back in time and appreciate the dedication and resilience displayed by those involved in Britain's fishing industry during this era.
