Nick Cooper Posted 18 March , 2005 Share Posted 18 March , 2005 H.M. Minesweeper No. 847- the pre-War Grimsby trawler the Lord Airedale - foundered with the loss of all hands during a storm in Bridlington Bay, East Yorkshire, 90 years ago this evening. One member of the Bridlington Lifeboat launching crew (my great-great grandfather) was also killed during attempts to reach the wreck. Full account here.

Aye Malcolm Thanks for that Malcom - despite numerous trips to Kew checking up on this and other things, I seem to have neglected to check Lloyds for details of the ship! Hopefully I'll get a chance to add the information tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
