Hull / The Lost Trawlermen of Hull Memorial

Description

Steel sculpture depicting thirteen* trawlermen (* there are fourteen figures, maybe the boy in front is not a trawlerman). Peter Naylor: "The figures and faces (...) were painstakingly researched and chosen from the photographic archives of Hull's former fishing industry in order to produce a range that reflect the spectrum of the trawler crews."
On the arch in the back is the text: "For Those in Peril on the Sea."
