Eyemouth Fishing Disaster

[elizabethh]

I am researching a family of fisherman, one of whom I know died in Eyemouth.  Does anyone know where I can obtain a full list of the fishermen who died on that day be it book, newspaper report etc.     Thank-you.

there's a book - Black Friday by Peter Aitchison published by Birlinn isbn 9781841589824. Think it may have been called Children of the Sea in a previous edition.

I did some research on this about 5 years ago
Very sad when looking at the 1881 Census and finding all the families that were affected by the disaster that was to happen later that year

what family are you looking for?

family name Fisher - I believe Thomas was on board the Guiding Star reg in Eyemouth.  He would have left a family behind.
