Important, informative piece about Hull’s role in the Falklands War. Well worth a read. Another Hull trawler, the Viola, was already there, stuck on a beach at Grytviken and targeted by Argentine scrap metal merchants in an act which triggered hostilities. 1/2

It is with immense sadness that we report the passing of Eric Tharratt, a most enthusiastic supporter of our campaign, at the age of 104. Eric's dad was a former Viola skipper. You can read their stories and a tribute here. Deepest condolences to Pat. https://t.co/fg9OyAzTPr
