Hi,
I am looking for information on the sinking of the Trawler Margaret on 17 December 1916.
The little that I know is as follows:
Margaret, 54grt, 17 December 1916, Between Hastings and Dungeness, mined and sunk, 6 lives lost including Skipper
This is from the website.
From the Commonwealth War Graves Commission web site, I know that the Skipper was:
FOORD, WILLIAM JOHN, Son of William John Foord; husband of Elizabeth S. Foord, of 25, Mann St., Hastings.
I gather that there is a memorial to William and his crew in Rye Cemetery. I'd like to learn more about the incident, in particular who were the other members of the crew.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Mark

Trawler Margaret.
Have you tried contacting The Fishermens Museum in Hastings? They have lots of data on local fishing boats including those lost.

Hi,
I am the grandson of William Foord, skipper of the Margaret. I have one photograph of the vessel if you would like a copy let me know.
