Description

KINGSTON UPON HULL

TA02NE HESSLE ROAD 680-1/8/167 (South side) Fishermens' Memorial at junction with Boulevard

II

Memorial statue. 1906. By Albert Leake. Life size Portland stone figure of a fisherman in a defiant attitude, on a square pink granite pedestal with plinth, cornice and inscription. Stepped stone base. The memorial was erected by public subscription in memory of 3 trawlermen killed in 1904 when the Russian Baltic Fleet fired on a group of Hull fishing vessels. This is known as the Dogger Bank Incident and ironically led to an improvement in Anglo-Russian relations. (Palmer, A: A Dictionary of Modern History: Harmondsworth: 1962-: 108).
