Description

Northern Waters: A Trawlerman's Tale is a personal account of life on the trawler, a dying industry that once supplied the UK's fishing needs. Ron Telford, a seasoned bosun, shares his experiences from the early days of his career as a young deckhand learner to his time at Nautical College, where he earned a Third Hand's Certificate. He recounts the challenges of the sea, including harsh weather conditions, equipment failures, and the skilled teamwork required to catch and process the day's catch.

Through his stories, Telford also explores the human side of life at sea, including the camaraderie among the crew, the difficulties of leaving loved ones behind, and the limited time spent ashore during each trip. His account is a valuable record of an industry that has largely disappeared, offering a glimpse into the lives of those who worked on the trawlers and the risks they took to bring in the day's catch.
