historydavid Posted 20 July , 2007 Share Posted 20 July , 2007 Hello John, Forgot to mention this earlier but according to Toghill BRADFORD's port registration was GY 132, which I believe signifies Grimsby. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/grimsby.trawlers/ by TcM59 (of this Forum). Not sure if it includes photos, but you may be lucky. Hope this helps in your search David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
