The Concepts
Our Concept ideas for hull, and what people think of them.
Ship to Shore Concept
Kingston upon Hull
The 'Ship to Shore Feature' is a concept designed by InterTech. The idea was to show a way of reflecting on the former fishing industry of Hull and remembering the city's lost trawlermen. The designs we have come up with focus on people; our main goal being to create a range of components that make both local people and visitors want to find out more about this arduous way of life.
Can a memorial be a place of respect, whilst allowing up and coming generations to connect with what they see? We say "yes" - and we think our designs reflect this.
Take a look at some of the design visuals.
You are welcome to leave your comments using the opinion box below.
Above: Visual showing profile of trawler cut out of raw steel set within water ajacent to quay.
This visual shows the steel trawler profile mounted to the quay, which offers a lower budget solution whilst still maintaining the same concept.
Visual shows further option focused on budget with a trawler profile reduced to half size.

Showing the framework which will supports the steel trawler cut-out
Image showing the distance from the steel profile to the existing dockside handrail
Edge of trawler with LED colour-wash lighting to focus and highlight the rust-effect steel
The final result is to give the overall impression of a Hull trawler departing with a crew bound for distant fishing grounds where they would be away for a month at a time. The sad fact was that, for some Hull families, this sight would have been the very last they would have seen of their loved ones.
Picture above shows a small-scale steel prototype silhouette
The prototype was laser cut from 6mm mild steel and is 1150mm long

We need something like this to remind young & old about our heritage.

As an ex-Trawler Skipper myself, I would prefer this concept as it is less abstact than the others, and therefore more regognisable to the general public as a fishing memorial, however, there is one small problem with one of the proposed 'positions' of this piece, if (as in one of the illustrations) it is situated actually in the river, then it would need navigation lights, because even if it is close to shore, as long as there is water between it and the dry land, it constitutes being a 'vessel', and would therefore have to adhere to maritime regulations., I'm not being 'picky' but the simple answer is to have it fixed to the sloping shorline as in the second illustration.

This idea is a true tribute to the lost trawlermen of Hull.
The location on St Andrew's Dock is a fitting place for this eye catching memorial.
This would be our choice by far.

I have heard that there is a new concept for the memorial but the public did not get to see it. Why is this?

There is a new design by Andrew Fenton why have the Public not seen it ?

We are aware that there is another design for a Lost Trawlermen's Memorial and that this has been offered free by Inter-Tech to "Stand". However. this was rejected by "Stand" in favour of the "ITEM" which has featured recently in the Hull Daily Mail and the Yorkshire Times. The latter design has unsurprisingly attracted a great number of adverse comments. So now will you please allow everyone to judge for themselves by showing them your design?

another part of the concept that should be a part of our heritage for the fishing community
Peter Coyle

No rating between Poor and OK.... I think this idea is good but would be better presented with the real thing... ie: A Trawler... Then it would be a living interact-able feature that people would appreciate more, maybe the Arctic Corsair?

The best design I've seen , hope it comes off

The designer has captured our heritage in the most imaginative way - thank you.
I am from a fishing family and extremely proud of my roots and want to see that our heritage leaves a legacy for all to see for centuries to come.

PEOPLE OF HULL SHOULD NEVER FORGET WHALING THEN FISHING PUT US ON THE MAP I AM A CODHEAD AND PROUD OF IT

This particular plan envisaged by Andrew Fenton has my wholehearted approval. The centre- piece which is the silhouette of a typical sidewinder immediately captures and holds your attention. When I first saw the 'actual model' it immediately brought to mind the sadness I felt at the time of the triple trawler disaster, and all the other occasions later when trawlers and men (some of whom I had personally known) were lost. The site where the memorial will be positioned has ample room for a walkway and benches for relatives who choose to visit and meditate on the loss of their loved ones. It will serve many other useful purposes too.
I believe that a locally based company such as InterTech deserves to be given preference over others further afield.
We must never forget the thousands of Hull trawlermen who lost their lives at sea and who were responsible for bringing considerable prosperity to this city. It is imperative now that we forget our differences and unite to show the respect due to these brave men. It can be done, and should be done, without further delay.

This looks a fitting tribute to the lost industry of Hull, and the trawler men, who gave their lives to contribute to this industry, which was sadly sacrificed due to political shinanacins.
Richard

My family lived on the Hessle Road and were all employed in the fishing industry from the early 1900 at sea and on the dry side.
One thing about the caption of photos of tubs/kettles of fish everyone I knew called them kits and would contain about 10 stone of fish.
The concept looks very good however,funds must be available to maintain the area.

Great to see local people designing things for local people.
It's an excellent concept and very suiting to the Hull community.
I always prefer to see something designed with heart than something designed for cold hard cash.
Well Done

Fantastic design from Intertech, fitting tribute and a local Hull company.

My late husband was a fisherman from the age of 14 as were my 2 brothers. They were fishermen for nigh on 40 years. This memorial by STAND does absolutely nothing for me and my 2 brothers. My late husband Harry would have certainly agreed with us. This concept memorial or similar is what we would like. Connect with the fishing community STAND like you should have done before making decisions for us.

There is a silhouette design memorial at the site of Lissett WW2 airfield for the 851 airmen lost from 158 Squadron The memorial has engraved in it all the names of the 851 airmen lost. The trawler silhouette could have similar with the names of all the trawlermen lost from Hull.

My great grandad my grandad my Dad my uncles and cousins all Hull trawlermen. A fitting tribute to a breed of men we will never see the likes of again.

The design of of the trawlers in the background looks good to me various lighting effects will enhance the memorial to a lost generation .

I am an x trawler skipper . I lost my uncle Freddy scholars off the Stella Polaris in 1954 leaving behind six children and wife.in allmost the same year my granddad died at sea aboard the ST Onslow the crew brought his body back in the fish room he played the accordion which went missing when the vessel returned to hull.so sad no goodbyes or farewells or kisses
Lois

I think this stunning design has real presence and evokes emotion. Even those who have no connection to the fishing industry can't help but be moved by the trawler and what it stands for. This is by far the most fitting. The meaning is not lost in the "art" like the one STAND has put forward. My grandad was a fisherman and i think this design reflects how proud and brave these men were.

I. Lost three of my brothers at sea Two from the Boston Lincoln 1974. And one on St Dominic. 1976. Killed on the deck ...our family has been fishing out of Hull from the. beginning We do not want a park all that's needed is a fitting tribute to our Trawlermen

I'm not from a fishing family, although have lived in Hull all my life, but think this concept is brilliant and think it is a fitting tribute to all those men that risked their lives and those who lost their lives in treacherous waters in order that this great city of ours and cities around Great Britain always had supplies of fish.
Peter Smith
02/08/2013
this concept symbolizes a true meaning for myself as an ex trawlerman,also the many people who have lost love ones
Terry Kent (ex Fisherman)

This looks the business, lot better than the ones we have seen ,at least you can see its a trawler and not a sharp pointy thing that has nothing to do with trawlers
Ray Coles
02/08/2013
This is what the ex Fishermen and their families want
Tina Ives
02/08/2013
This is a simple design which I think depicts the simple lifestyle and evokes memories of days gone by, quite a poetic thing really especially with the backdrop
Peter Green

Fantastic design that truly represents what the people of hull want i am proud to say i am married to a ex trawler man and am shocked and disappointed in the city council of hull that has allowed everthing to disappear without a trace lord line should have been made into a museum along with all the other derelict buildings aworking museum would keep all that history alive i hope the lads get this fantastic design up and running soon good on you xx

I come from a fishing family my dad went to sea all his life... it would be wonderful if this memorial could become a reality.
Alot of brave and good men have been lost over the years, and i think this would be a fitting tribute. Imagine the impact this would have silhouetted against the waterfront during the day...fantastic.
I personally think this one is far superior to the one being planned by S.T.A.N.D. Alot of people, can't connect with the abstract design they have chosen.
Terry Bishop
02/08/2013
this is far more illustrative than the one chosen, I can relate to it, it does those men proud that gave their lives.
Peter Raine
02/08/2013
this is a fantastic design and would be great to have it
Kevin Thomson

this is a fitting for all fishermen whosailed out of hull
Gill Railton

Very impressed with this concept, a proper fisherman's memorial that each family who lost someone can relate too and remember with pride.
Jan Bonser
02/08/2013
Please......those who have the ultimate choice......follow the direction the Public want and more importantly The Men and their Families who were directly involved. The silhouettes of the Family waving goodbye are so touching xxx
Andrea Howland
02/08/2013
I love the idea of the trawler welded to the quay side very impressive ! Is this also going to include a list of crew members on a plaque or podium x at last something apt to celebrate the lives of those taken by the sea !and a striking memorial beautiful !!!!

if this was placed nearer to the inner bull nose it would be fantastic,whoever came up with this idea deserves recognition
Donna Shepherd

I think that not just one trawler to be named as men lost their lives in other trawlers, either none named or all.

this is a better reflection of what is needed as a memorial to the fishermen that did not come home .a lasting idea much better than a garden .
Chris Weymer
02/08/2013
Great design..but lends itself to graffiti...how about letting family members put their own thoughts on it...then sealing it with something that doesn't allow any extra 'thoughts' to be added
Michael Swain
02/08/2013
Very good . I lost my brother on the Ross Cleveland the third ship after St Romanus , Kingston Peridot.
John Jackson

this is far superior to any other proposed memorial i have seen lets have it something to actually take the family down to look at and be proud of
Alan Dean

a monument fitting to all the fishermen lost at sea
Brian Calvert

This would be a fitting monument to all those fishermen that never returned and there where many R.I.P Lads
Steve Shepherd

Very impressive and far outweighs the winner recently chosen by STAND. l can connect with this memorial.

What a lovely idea, will give people more of a reason to visit the dock other than to buy their sofas and gardening furniture!

Coming from a Hull fishing family, the memorial will make an excellent and fitting tribute to the many men who lost their lives at sea.
I stood on the dockside along with mum, on many occasions, waiting for dad's ship to come alongside for me to be lifted aboard.
Stephen Todd

Best design we have seen for this memorial, having done a trip on Falstaff round Iceland in the late 60's taking photographs for a college project I feel that this sums up the life of Hull's fishing Heritage well.
Darren Fisher

A great concept, It paints a picture of local families waiting for their loved ones to come home safely.
This needs to happen.
Sam
26/07/2013
As a designer and a person living in Hull I feel this concept is a perfect concept for a memorial. The ship has so much symbolism and holds a lot of emotion... the rusty iron shape... the ideas behind it are so much more appropriate to the fisherman, Hull and culturally as a whole.
Abstract impressionist sculptures and shapes do nothing for the fisherman an their families.
This concept is my choice by far,
RS Leeman

Fantastic idea and concept about time we dressed our river shoreline up , great for young and old !!
