The Red Falcon, trawler
http://www.fleetwood-trawlers.connectfree.co.uk/falcon.html
I remember vividly the loss of the trawler because one of my neighbours in Broadwaters was a member of the crew. I was compelled to write this song and tell the story because of my family's connection with the sea. My father was from Lowestoft, another great fishing town, and when I was growing up we had many of his fishermen friends visit. We would play card games such as "rummy" and "cribbage" and I was always fascinated by the stories that were told of life at sea.
