Fishing Vessel FV-GAUL

The Hull-based stern trawler F.V. Gaul was lost in very bad weather in Arctic waters, with all 36 crew members, in February 1974. This site, now archived by the National Archives, has information and documentation, including hearing transcripts and reports, relating both to the original formal investigation in 1974 and to the reopened formal investigation in 2004, which followed discovery of the wreck in 1997 and underwater surveys carried out in 1998 and 2002.
