The story so far
Kingston Peridot was lost near Iceland in January 1968. All 20 men aboard died. Together with St Romanus and Ross Cleveland, her loss is remembered as Hull’s Triple Trawler Disaster: 58 men lost across the three vessels. Behind those figures were individual lives and families; their memories deserve space here.
