I have acquired an old book about fishing (the acquisition of old books about fishing being something of a hobby of mine!) which has a chapter about what was known as "The Russian Outrage" of 1904, a famous episode in Hull's history. On October 22, 1904 several steamboats of the Gamecock Fleet, belonging to Messrs. Leyman & Company, which were fishing on the Dogger were fired upon by the Russian Fleet, killing and injuring fishermen on board the trawlers. One trawler, the Crane, was sunk and others were damaged, including the Mino, the Moulmein, the Gull, the Snipe and the Majestic. Following is a list of names included in the book. There are some inconsistencies, which I have noted. If anyone wants further details, please let me know. Henry SMITH (or George Henry SMITH) (skipper of the Crane) William Arthur LEGGETT (boatswain of the Crane) William Richard LEGGETT (3rd hand, Crane) (above 2 may be the same?) William SMITH (Crane) John NIXON (Chief Engineer, Crane) Harry HOGGART (Crane) Arthur REA (Second engineer, Crane) Albert A (or A. E.) ALMOND (trimmer, Crane) John RYDER (or John RYDE) (deckhand, Crane) Walter WHELPTON (Skipper, Mino) Joseph Alfred SMITH (son of William SMITH) Skipper J W White (Mission steamer 'Joseph and Sarah Miles') Dr ANKLESARIA (Mission surgeon) Charles BEER (mate of the Gull) Harry SMIRK (chief engineer, Gull) Edwin COSTELLO (boatswain, Gull) J K GREEN (skipper, Gull) If anyone is interested in the book, which may possibly be available in the library, or through inter library loan, it is called 'North Sea Fishers and Fighters' by Walter Wood, published by Kegan Paul in 1911).
