Stepping Aboard the Historic Ross Tiger in Grimsby 🚢⚓️

Today, I had the unique experience of visiting the Ross Tiger in Grimsby, one of the last surviving sidewinder trawlers from the town's fishing heyday. Climbing aboard this floating museum, I was transported back to the 1950s, exploring the life and work of a deep-sea fisherman. The guided tour was incredibly informative, with passionate guides sharing stories of the ship’s voyages and the harsh realities of life at sea. Walking through the crew quarters, engine room, and galley, I could vividly imagine the day-to-day challenges faced by the fishermen. The authentic preservation of the vessel provided a tangible connection to Grimsby's rich maritime heritage. Standing on deck, I felt a profound respect for the bravery and resilience of the men who sailed on the Ross Tiger. This visit is a must for anyone interested in maritime history, offering a deep dive into the gritty and heroic world of Grimsby’s fishing industry. 🌊🛳️🛠️
