Read all about the Viola on our website. And even though it’s June we are offering remaining copies of our unique Hull Task Force calendar featuring more detail and exclusive paintings of all the ships. Only available @furleyandco Donations appreciated but not essential.

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. bit.ly/3KmTWNf

A photo showing fish filleters hard at work on the docks, preparing the catch of the day for sale. At the height of Hull’s fishing industry, there were over 300 trawlers operating from the city – that’s a lot of fish!

Hugely impressed by @HETA1967 ‘s operations and facilities!
New horizons as @viola_trust begins to explore apprenticeship and training opportunities for young people to develop their skills by restoring #Viola with help from @HETA1967. Read more: bit.ly/35uwMQ3
Really hoping we can bring #Viola home to join her. Looking forward to seeing them both side by side telling the story of Hull’s amazing trawlers.
