Hi Lorna
My great uncle was skipper of the trawler SS Leicestershire. Not every body was recovered but those that were were returned to Grimsby on the trawler Hampshire- six in total. The bodies are interred at Grimsby Cemetery. My great grandmother paid for a memorial for the seamen - I will try and send a photo and discover who the men were that came home.
