Jacinta
It holds the record as the highest earning trawler ever to sail from UK waters. Its home port is my home town, Fleetwood.
Today it is manned by a volunteer crew of 16 ex-seamen from Fleetwood, and sailed to about 6 maritime festivals annually. At the end of its fishing days, it was laid up, ready to scrap. A pound secured its purchase, and it was renovated. My father would have worked with many of the present volunteer crew. It is open to visitors in Fleetwood dock.
