Beyond Trawlertown takes a journey through the British
distant-water fishery and its port-city connections in an era of
disruption. In 1976, defeat in the Anglo-Icelandic Cod Wars saw the
British trawling fleet excluded from their traditional hunting
grounds. Combining with wider global factors, the move brought an
end to long-established trawling practices, with profound social,
economic and cultural repercussions. Through a case study of the
port of Hull, oral history and archival research explore the
challenges, responses and legacy of rapid change. Although the
emphasis is on Hull, this is far from a local history. Hull’s
position among the world leading distant-water pioneers gives the
story international significance. Focusing on memory, lived
experience and place, the book goes beyond established narratives.
Personal acts of remembering offer cultural perspectives on how
global events and marine policy impact upon the seafaring
communities that live with the consequences. The Cod Wars signaled
an end, yet amid the disruption there were also new beginnings. And
in the wake of an active fishery, the rhythms of the past continue
to resonate in the negotiation of fishing heritage within the
contemporary city. Through the convergence of time, place and
memory, this holistic narrative of interweaving stories reveals the
intricacies of our human interaction with the marine environment
and the aftermath when its threads are broken.
