One of the truly 'forgotten' aspects of the First World War is the role of fishermen and fishing vessels during the conflict. Not only did they keep the country supplied with fish, but they also undertook dangerous operations including mine-sweeping and anti-submarine patrols. Many crews were lost in these operations.
In this highly illustrated presentation Dr Robb Robinson from the University of Hull tells us about Fishermen's involvement in the Great War.
This is one of the lectures given at the WFA's AGM and Conference 2022
