 Pop
stars and DJ’s unite to save the Ross Revenge
A group of disc jockeys and pop stars from the 1970s have joined forces
to preserve one of Grimsby’s best known deep sea trawlers.
The Ross Revenge was a top earner out of Grimsby
for many years and was at one time the longest sidewinder in the world,
but after the Cod War in the 1970s she took on an even more glamorous
role as the home of Radio Caroline.
The ship is currently moored in a private berth at Tilbury Docks where,
against all the odds, a group of enthusiasts are managing to keep her
in fairly reasonable condition.
Now rock star Rick Wakeman of the bands ‘Strawbs ‘and ‘Yes’
fame, along with DJs like Keith Skues and Johnnie Walker are calling for
the ship to be placed under a preservation order in the same way as any
historic and notable building.
