This year, Lost Trawlermen’s Day took place on Sunday 24th January, when more than 500 people attend an open-air memorial service at 12 noon at the Outer Bullnose, St. Andrew’s Lockhead, off Clive Sullivan Way. Each person will be given a carnation to throw into the ebbing tide of the Humber: a tribute to those loved ones that have been lost.
The memorial service was a combination of prayers, hymns and readings, culminating in a laying of wreaths at the gates to the old fish dock. Each year, Lost Trawlermen’s Day becomes a focal point for bereaved families and friends who remember the fishermen who sailed from St. Andrew’s fish dock and who did not return.

| In attendance at this year’s service, the Rt. Hon. Alan Johnson MP, Home Secretary and Memeber of Parliament for West Hull and Hessle, believes that Bullnose at St Andrew’s Dock is the only suitable location for Lost Trawlermen’s Day and wants to ensure that the moving annual tribute can remain there.

Despite the damp, gloomy conditions, more than 500 people turned out to pay tribute and remember those who lost their lives fishing on Hull’s trawlers. Between 5,000 and 8,000 Hull men lost their lives at sea from the 1860s until the fishing industry went into decline in the last quarter of the 20th century.
Between 5,000 and 8,000 Hull men lost at sea Hundreds of families gathered once more for the open-air memorial service, organised by fishing heritage group Stand and St John’s Church, to remember the men who never came home. The losses are still very much felt today But the fishing community was supreme in that families and neighbours would rally round and support each other when there was a bereavement or when a trawler went down. Lost Trawlermen’s Day is a chance to remember the thousands of dads, granddads, husbands and sweethearts that were lost. And it’s also a good chance for old friends to come together again. The Service attracts all generations including the young who sometimes didn’t know their lost family members but still feel loss. |

| Situated on the mariner how can we justify the money this sculpture cost and to what relevance is this to the city.
It depicts nothing more than the city being used by migrants passing through the city like they would in any other port to achieve there final destination.

Memorial to lost trawlermen situated at the Bullnose and lock gates of St Andrew’s Dock.
It is clear to see that this memorial does not by any means reflect the sheer loss of life. After 35 year is it not about timethese families had a more fitting memorial to remember there dead. Between 5,000 and 8,000 Hull men lost at sea. This city was built on sacrifice of trawlermen. |
