Hull's Lost Trawlers by Gary Austin
Acrylic on Canvas 16x12". January 2017 is the 49th aniversary of the loss of 3 Hull trawlers within 3 weeks. 58 men lost their lives with just one survivor. This painting is my memorial to the 58. All 3 ships were lost in the arctic fishing grounds in heavy weather. The Ross Cleveland (Boat H.61) was lost within half a mile of another Hull boat, hence the inset image of a trawlerman looking on. I have use just two colours in this painting, Blue Black Indigo and white.
