Brief story about my Dad, at the end of WW2 dad aged around 14 went to sea on Hull trawlers (J Marr & son) some of the trips he went on the fish was landed in Norway as they were starving and Norway had very few fishing boats left. In the late 40s he was doing well and earning big money fishing, but when he arrived home his mum used to say the police are looking for you (national service) but he still went back fishing and ignored the warning, the next trip Marr sacked him and told him when you have done your service come back and see me, he did his service in (HMS BARKIS) and when served he went back to see Marr and got his old job back, he made chief in 1953 and stayed with them for over 47 years and retierd in 1995. and what a great man he was. All 47 years were spent at sea with J Marr & son Hull. you can see his fishing records on the Hull Stand website just look for KEN RUDD. in fishermens records
